System and method for rapid completion of data processing tasks distributed on a network

A computer implemented method for running tasks on a network, comprising:

• creating at least one sub-group of data from a universe of data;
• identifying the sub-group of data with a header, the header containing executable code;
• formatting a control file for evaluation as a hash table at run time;
• reading the control file to determine an availability of a processor;
• sending the sub-group of data to the available processor;
• performing tasks with the available processor to obtain result data using the sub-group of data and instructions contained in the executable code in the header;
• and
• returning the result data to a main processor, wherein returned result data is reconstructed to form a result.

A system for running tasks on a network, comprising:

• a data preprocessing routine to create at least one sub-group of data from a universe of data;
• a data header containing executable code that identifies the sub-group of data;
• a control file capable of being read to determine an availability of a processor, wherein the control file is formatted for evaluation as a hash table at run time;
• and
• a dispatch routine to send the sub-group of data to the available processor, wherein the available processor performs to obtain result data using the sub-group of data and instructions contained in the executable code in the header.
