Treffer: Automatic translation of serial to distributed code using CORBA event channels

Automatic Distribution of computationally intensive object oriented programs is one of the active research areas. To distribute a serial code over network, automatically, the class dependency graph extracted from the program code can be clustered using a genetic clustering algorithm. The clusters are then distributed across the network. To balance the distribution gain achieved by each cluster, a new algorithm is presented in this paper. Automatic conversion of ordinary method calls into asynchronous inter-cluster calls has been achieved by developing a new simple data dependency analysis algorithm. The layered architecture of our suggested environment has provided a general pattern to create distributed code which can be easily implemented within different infrastructures.
