  • Patent number: 6732140
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program that configures software threads (95) at the time requested using only the required software resource elements (70) necessary to perform a specific function. This is accomplished using a resource manager (30) to identify resource elements (70) required to perform the specific function by accessing a resource database (40) associating commands with resource elements (70). Once the required resource elements (70) are identified, message labels are generated to activate and pass parameters to the resource elements (70) using a message allocation table (50). These messages labels are routed to the memory locations where the resource elements (70) are stored using a message routing table (60). Upon receipt of the message labels the resource elements (70) activate and form a thread (95) using message labels, generated by each resource element (70) in the thread (95) to communicate with other resource elements (70) in the thread (95).
