SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCHEDULING AND COORDINATING TASKS ACROSS APPLICATION PROCESSES USING SHARED MEMORY

摘要

A system and method for scheduling and coordinating tasks between a master application and a slave application includes: receiving a request from an application program; determining whether the request includes an embedded subtask; extracting the subtask and sending the subtask to a shared memory space for retrieval by the slave application, if the request includes an embedded subtask; and waiting for a response from the slave application.
