摘要：Disclosed are mechanisms for creating and communicating with computerprocesses. An application programming interface (API) presents services of the system to
applications. The API is usable with all processes, local and remote, and is transparentwith respect to the location of processes. A process table stores information aboutprocesses created using the system. The process table supports centralized processcontrol and peer-to-peer process communication and synchronization. Each process isassigned a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) that uniquely identifies the process nomatter the computing device on which it runs. A parent UUID and a group UUID may beattached to the process and used for enforcing dependencies (e.g., for halting theprocess and all of its child processes) and for managing arbitrary, user-defined groups,respectively. A global event is associated with each process. When a process receives thisevent, it performs a controlled shutdown, cleans up, and reports status.
