Method of detaching and re-attaching components of a computing process

A computer implemented method for removing a part of a computing process comprising items of data, program code and executing states, the method comprising

• splitting said computing process into a first process and a second sub-process, the second sub-process comprising a portion of the program code and/or a portion of the execution states of said computing process not required by said first process;
• forming a construct which stores said second sub-process, while said first process retains the process identity of said computing process;
• after said first process finishes executing data, adding program code and execution states from said first process to said second sub-process and reactivating said second sub-process;
• and
• discarding by said first process extraneous data, program codes and execution states acquired subsequent to the formation of said first process and said second sub-process prior to adding the program code and execution states from said first process to said second sub-process.

• and
• forming a construct which stores said second sub-process, while said first process is run in place of said computing process,
• wherein said second sub-process is a suspended process comprising data, program code and execution states of said computing process temporarily not required by said first process, and
• wherein said first process is able to re-acquire data, program codes and execution states from said suspended process as and when required by said first process.
