  • Patent number: 11650854
    Abstract: Among other things, a machine-based method comprises receiving an application specification comprising one or more algorithms. Each algorithm is not necessarily suitable for concurrent execution on multiple nodes in parallel. One or more different object classes are grouped into one or more groups, each being appropriate for executing the one or more algorithms of the application specification. The executing involves data that is available in objects of the object classes. A user is enabled to code an algorithm of the one or more algorithms for one group in a single threaded environment without regard to concurrent execution of the algorithm on multiple nodes in parallel. An copy of the coded algorithm is distributed to each of the multiple nodes, without needing additional coding. The coded algorithm is caused to be executed on each node in association with at least one instance of a group independently of and in parallel to executing the other copies of the coded algorithm on the other nodes.
