Estimating the term…
A management facility for managing concurrently executable computer processes. The management facility includes a registration mechanism, which enables a plurality of interdependent processes to be considered a part of a topology of logically dependent execution groups, and a termination synchronization mechanism that synchronizes the completion of termination for the processes within the topology. Termination synchronization prevents a process within the topology from completely terminating, even if it has entered normal termination, until all of the processes within the topology have normally terminated. If one of the processes within the topology has abnormally terminated, then notification of this abnormal termination can be propagated to all of the processes within the topology of logically dependent execution groups, since none of them have completely terminated.
