Cluster System Parallel Computing Framework Host Node

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (cluster management module) that sits between the OpenCL framework and the cluster system infrastructure. This intermediary automatically handles message passing operations, allowing OpenCL applications to run on clusters without requiring programmers to manually use message passing libraries. The intermediary translates high-level OpenCL commands into appropriate network messages, thus resolving the contradiction between parallel computing capability and ease of operation.

The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the cluster management module automatically manages message passing operations without requiring programmer intervention. The system itself handles the complexity of cluster communication by providing automated message generation, routing, and synchronization. This allows the application code to remain simple while the underlying system handles the complex cluster coordination tasks autonomously.

The patent segments the system into distinct functional modules: a core OpenCL execution engine that maintains its simple single-node design, and a separate cluster management layer that handles distributed system operations. This segmentation allows the original simple implementation to be preserved while adding cluster support through the modular management layer. The core OpenCL code remains unchanged and simple, while the cluster functionality is added as an independent segment that interfaces with the existing system.
