COORDINATED APPLICATION PROCESSING

Abstract:

Coordinated application processing. A method identifies processing engines available for coordinated application processing, distributes to the processing engines an application configured for execution to perform image processing, and distributes images to the processing engines. The images cover an image area that includes multiple different sub-areas, where the image processing proceeds across multiple cycles of image processing to process a respective set of images of each sub-area of the multiple different sub-areas, and where the distributing the images includes, for each sub-area of the multiple different sub-areas: selecting for that sub-area a respective processing engine of the processing engines to perform the image processing across the multiple cycles to process the respective set of images of that sub-area, and distributing, across the multiple cycles of the image processing, the images of the respective set of images of that sub-area to the respective processing engine selected for that sub-area.
