Method and apparatus for distributing computation closures

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
• receive a request for specifying one or more processes executing on a device for distribution over a computation space;
• cause, at least in part, serialization of the one or more processes as one or more closure primitives, the one or more closure primitives representing computation closures of the one or more processes;
• and
• cause, at least in part, distribution of the one or more closure primitives over the computation space based, at least in part, on a cost function.

A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:

• receiving a request for specifying one or more processes executing on a device for distribution over a computation space;
• causing, at least in part, serialization of the one or more processes as one or more closure primitives, the one or more closure primitives representing computation closures of the one or more processes;
• and
• causing, at least in part, distribution of the one or more closure primitives over the computation space based, at least in part, on a cost function.
