Parallel programming interface to dynamicaly allocate program portions

A method comprising:

• receiving an instruction;
• participating in parallel processing,
• the parallel processing operating on the instruction using a plurality of workers;
• sending a query to a licensing manager,
• the query being sent once the parallel processing has begun on the instruction,
• the query identifying additional information, and
• the additional information being used to facilitate completing the parallel processing on the instruction;
• receiving an answer from the licensing manager,
• the answer indicating whether a worker is allowed to participate in the parallel processing of the instruction;
• continuing with the parallel processing of the instruction using the worker when the answer indicates that the worker is authorized to participate in the parallel processing;
• and
• generating a result based on the parallel processing,
• the result including at least one of:
• executable code, or
• data generated during the parallel processing,
• the receiving the instruction, the participating, the sending, the receiving the answer, the continuing;
• and the generating being performed by one or more computers.

A device comprising:

• one or more processors to:
• receive an instruction associated with an application;
• commence parallel processing, associated with the application, using a unit of execution,
• the unit of execution operating with one or more other units of execution when performing the parallel processing associated with the application;
• send a query to a destination,
• the query being:
• related to the parallel processing,
• sent after the unit of execution has commenced parallel processing, and
• sent from the unit of execution;
• receive an answer to the query,
• the answer being:
• associated with the query,
• received at the unit of execution, and
• received after the query is sent;
• modify the parallel processing when the answer is received, the modifying being:
• related to the instruction, and
• based on the answer
• generate a result using the unit of execution,
• the result including at least one of:
• executable code, or
• data generated using the unit of execution.
