A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11893415B2) describes a system that includes a computer-readable medium with instructions for a task handler. The task handler comprises a parent portion that initializes tasks, receives requests over communication channels, creates child processes, and tracks data associated with the child processes. The child portion of the task handler executes tasks in separate child processes, reads requests, performs tasks, sends responses, and communicates data back to the parent process. The system allows for efficient task handling and communication between parent and child processes.

Furthermore, the patent details the creation of child processes by forking the parent process, the use of different communication channels for requests and data transfer, and the handling of multiple tasks simultaneously. The system is designed to optimize memory usage, I/O statistics, and timing statistics for each child process, providing a comprehensive approach to task execution and data management. Overall, the patented system offers a structured and efficient method for handling tasks in a multi-process environment, enhancing performance and resource utilization in computing systems.
