1. A server-processor hybrid system for processing data, comprising:
- a set of front-end servers configured to receive the data from an external source;
a set of back-end application optimized processors configured to receive the data from the set of front-end servers, process the data, and return processed data to the set of front-end servers; and
an interface within at least one of the set of front-end servers having a set of network interconnects, the interface connecting the set of front-end servers with the set of back-end application optimized processors, the interface configured to;
communicate the data received from the external source, from the set of front-end servers to the set of back-end application optimized processors by selectively invoking a push model or a pull model, andcommunicate the processed data from the back-end application optimized processors to the set of front-end servers by selectively invoking the push model or the pull model,wherein the push model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted has a predefined size, andwherein the pull model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted does not have a predefined size.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a server-processor hybrid system that comprises (among other things) a set (one or more) of front-end servers (e.g., mainframes) and a set of back-end application optimized processors. Moreover, implementations of the invention provide a server and processor hybrid system and method for distributing and managing the execution of applications at a fine-grained level via an I/O-connected hybrid system. This method allows one system to be used to manage and control the system functions, and one or more other systems to co-processor.

8. A method for processing data, comprising:
-
receiving the data from an external source on a front-end server; sending the data from the front-end server to a back-end application optimized processor via an interface embodied in the front-end server, the interface having a set of network interconnects by selectively invoking a push model or a pull model, wherein the push model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted has a predefined size, and wherein the pull model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted does not have a predefined size; processing the data on the back-end application optimized processor to yield processed data; and receiving the processed data from the back-end application optimized processor on the front-end server. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
