Abstract
A computer program and task request interface which enables large volumes of data to be processed efficiently and rapidly by multiple computers on a network. The data that requires processing can be in any format. The task request interface allows any arbitrary task to be performed on the input data. The number of computers which may participate in any given data processing task is essentially unlimited. The number of programs that can participate in the system is also essentially unlimited if the program uses run time evaluable code. Any computer operating system that runs a specified computer language interpreter can participate in the distributed processing of the input data.
