Peer-to-peer distributed computing system for heterogeneous device types

A first device, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory to execute the instructions from the memory, the processor being configured to:
• receive, using a first-level protocol, a first message from a second device, the first message including portable code which when compiled provides one or more functions to perform a computation by the first device within a distributed computing system, wherein the first-level protocol includes a first-level command messaging protocol;
• receive, using a second-level protocol, a second message from the second device, the second message including a first job request, wherein the first job request includes an indication of a first function of the one or more functions, an indication of a required set of input data to perform the first function, and a reference to a first container of data to store output data from the first function, wherein the second-level protocol includes a second-level command messaging protocol different from the first-level command messaging protocol, wherein a daemon process manages messages of the first-level protocol and a worker process that is separate from a daemon process manages messages of the second-level protocol different from messages of the first-level protocol, wherein the worker process is instantiated by the daemon process;
• in response to receiving the second message by the worker process, compile a portion of the portable code corresponding to the first function without compiling the rest of the portable code that includes a third function to create the first function after determining the portable code is safe to execute on the first device;
• and
• in response to the first device obtaining the required set of input data, the first device executing the first function to perform the computation to fulfill the first job request,
• wherein the portion of the portable code is compiled in response to determining the portable code is safe to execute on the first device, and
• wherein the portable code is LLVM IR (low level virtual machine intermediate representation), and the first device and the second device are different types of devices and each operate using a different operating system.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, using a wireless protocol and on a first device, a first message including portable code which is received as non-executable data and when executed allows the first device to share resources within a distributed computing system with one or more other devices including a second device;
• analyzing, on the first device, the portable code to determine whether the portable code is safe from intrusion and execution on the first device;
• receiving, at the first device, a first container of data, and storing the data in a data store of the first device;
• compiling, at the first device, the portable code to allow the first device to perform a one or more computations for a job request, wherein the job request includes an indication of a first computation to be performed by the first device, and an indication of a required set of input data, in the first container of data, to perform the first computation;
• wherein compiling the portable code comprises compiling a portion of the portable code corresponding to a first function without compiling the rest of the portable code that includes a third function in response to receiving a second message, wherein a daemon process manages messages of a first-level protocol including a first message and a worker process manages messages of a second-level protocol including a second message different from messages of the first-level protocol, wherein the worker process is instantiated by the daemon process;
• and
• in response to the first device obtaining the required set of input data, performing the first computation for the first job by the first device,
• wherein the portion of the portable code is compiled in response to determining the portable code is safe to execute on the first device, and
• wherein the portable code is LLVM IR (low level virtual machine intermediate representation), and the first device and the second device are different types of devices and each operate using a different operating system.
