Parallelizing evaluation of expressions on multiple threads
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11900065B1) discloses a method and system for optimizing the evaluation of elements in computer programs. The method involves identifying a baseline expression with elements to be evaluated on a primary thread, grouping elements into a parse tree structure based on resource access requirements, and generating a transformed expression for parallel evaluation. The transformed expression allows for the evaluation of elements in multiple threads, improving processing efficiency. The system includes computing devices and storage devices storing instructions for implementing the method, enhancing the performance of program evaluation.
The patent details the hierarchical structure of nodes in the parse tree, the use of declarative programming languages for the transformed expression, and the identification of computation dependencies within the baseline expression. By prioritizing the evaluation of elements and reconstructing text segments, the method aims to streamline the processing of computer-executable elements. The system's design ensures that elements are evaluated efficiently across multiple threads, enhancing the overall performance of the program. This innovation is particularly beneficial for applications developed using an application development platform, optimizing resource access and improving processing speed for complex computational tasks.
