Abstract
A system and method for distributing the execution of computer application programs among one or more computational resources over a computer network is described. This invention also manages the execution to optimize program execution, thereby permitting the multiplication of computational resources of a number of common computer resources linked by a computer network into the computational power commonly associated with supercomputers. This invention permits the automation of complex processes generally considered beyond the computational power of typical desktop computers by dividing and managing the process among a number of such computers connected by a computer network, which can then operate in parallel to maximize computational efficiency. This invention permits improved efficiency of communication between entities doing work on an application, whether a computer, device or person entity. This invention supports a wide variety of device types and computer operating system platforms. Application program tasks are synchronized and parallel execution is enabled. A simple easy to use user interface is provided, along with extensive error handling. This invention is computer platform-independent. It uses shared memory space between platform boundaries, allowing process to be developed independent of data movement and/or translation.
