  • System and method supporting single software code base using actor/director model separation
    Patent number: 10445141
    Abstract: A method includes executing multiple actors associated with a software program. Each actor is associated with (i) data to be processed and (ii) a message queue configured to store messages received by the actor. The method also includes invoking execution of at least one message processing thread for each message received by each actor. The at least one message processing thread is contained in a thread pool that is external to the actors. The number of message processing threads in the thread pool is independent of the number of actors. The method further includes releasing the at least one message processing thread to the thread pool after the execution of the corresponding message is completed.
