Peer to peer component distribution

A method, comprising:

• providing an indication from a client system to a first remote system and to a second remote system in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• receiving a response from said first remote system indicating that said first remote system is capable of performing the task responsive to the indication, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• providing said resource from at least one of said second remote system and said client system to said first remote system in response to said request;
• allowing said first remote system to perform said task;
• and
• receiving data relating to the said resource used to perform said task.

A method, comprising:

• routing a signal indicating that a task is available for processing from a client system to a first remote system and a second remote system based upon a distributed system;
• routing at least one response from at least one of said first and second remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication to said client system, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• and
• routing said resource for performing said task from at least one of said client system, said first remote system, and said second remote system, to said at least one of said first and second remote systems.

A method, comprising:

• providing an indication to one or more remote systems in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• receiving at least one response from said one or more remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• providing said resource for performing said task to said at least one of said remote system via a peer to peer connection;
• allowing at least one of the remote systems to perform the task based on said received response;
• and
• receiving a result of a completion of said task, said result comprising a checksum associated with completion of said task, said checksum being indicative of the correctness of one or more resources utilized to perform said task.

A method, comprising:

• providing an indication to one or more remote systems in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• receiving at least one response from the one or more remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication;
• allowing at least one of the remote systems to perform the task based on said received response;
• and
• receiving a result of a completion of said task, said result comprising a data indicative of the correctness of one or more resources utilized to perform said task.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a request to process a task in a distributed system;
• providing at least one response to said request, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• receiving said resource for performing said task via a peer to peer connection associated with said distributed system;
• performing said task;
• and
• providing a result of a completion of said task, said result comprising data indicative of the correctness of one or more resources utilized to perform said task.

A computer readable program storage device encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, performs a method, comprising:

• indicating to one or more remote systems in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• receiving at least one response from at least one of said one or more remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• and
• providing said resource for performing said task to said at least one of said remote system.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for indicating to one or more remote systems in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• means for receiving at least one response from at least one of said one or more remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• and
• means for providing said resource for performing said task to said at least one of said remote system.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an interface adapted to communicate with one or more remote systems;
• and
• a control unit communicatively coupled to the interface, the control unit adapted to:
• indicate to one or more remote systems in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• receive at least one response from at least one of said one or more remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• and
• provide said resource for performing said task to said at least one of said remote system.

A distributed compilation system, comprising:

• one or more remote systems;
• a client system adapted to:
• indicate to one or more remote systems in a distributed system that a task is available for processing based on a distribution list;
• receive at least one response from at least one of said one or more remote systems capable of performing the task responsive to the indication, said response comprising a request for a resource for performing said task;
• and
• provide said resource for performing said task to said at least one of said remote system.
