copied!<p>If you're creating stuff and then passing it to be processed then almost surely you can design your application to make use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">message passing</a> and <strong>object isolation.</strong></p> <p>First step will be identify responsibilities, that is, identifying who is gonna handle what. Every who is rounded by a box.</p> <p>Second step will be defining the information flow between your boxes, that is, if A produces X... who consumes it?</p> <p>After that two steps you'll have a <strong>simple graph with leafs representing workers and arrows representing messages.</strong> Every arrow represents a <strong>dependency order</strong> (that is, if an arrow goes from A to B then A needs to be executed before B).</p> <p>With this you'll be able to easily see what actions can be made parallel and what actions are indeed sequential in a graphical easy to see, easy to show way.</p> <p>Then just implement a <a href="http://www.stackframe.net/en/content/06-2008/data-types-pipe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pipe</a> structure to let you <strong>pass messages between workers</strong> so that every worker has a pipeline of work.</p> <p>On a final note: Once the original design is done, it's relatively easy to refactor it in order to improve. For example, nodes which make the same work can share work PIPES, so that 8 syntax analyzer consume from the "lexic token" pipe, or change it so that workers can "steal" work from other workers pipes, etc.</p>
