  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT, COORDINATED, DISTRIBUTED EXECUTION
    Publication number: 20200322427
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for efficient, coordinated, distributed execution. Processes are registered into a process registry which includes a table or list of processes. Processes which are determined to be no longer running are removed from the registry. Each process is configured to send a broadcast when it starts or stops. Each process periodically reads the registry, sorts the list, and uses it to determine the current master process based on an algorithm.
