MULTIPLE PEER GROUPS FOR EFFICIENT SCALABLE COMPUTING
First Claim
1. In a computing environment including one or more agents networked together, a method of performing computing, communication, and/or storage tasks, the method comprising:
- providing data to the agents using two or more distinct peer groups, the peer groups including members from among the agents;
performing at each of the peer groups operations on the data wherein each peer group is configured to perform a specific operation; and
coordinating the operations at each of the peer groups such that a common computing, communication and/or storage task is accomplished by aggregating the operations at each of the peer groups.

Abstract
Multiple peer groups for performing computing, communication, and/or storage tasks. A method may be performed for example, in a computing environment including one or more agents networked together. The method includes providing data to the agents using two or more distinct peer groups. The peer groups include members from among the agents. The method further includes performing at each of the peer groups operations on the data. Each peer group is configured to perform a specific operation. The method also includes coordinating the operations at each of the peer groups such that a common computing, communication and/or storage task is accomplished by aggregating the operations at each of the peer groups.

19. In a computing environment including one or more agents networked together, a method of performing computing, communication, and/or storage tasks, the method comprising:
-
obtaining membership in two or more peer groups; using a first peer group to perform a first operation, the first operation being an operation specific to the first peer group; using a second peer group to perform a second operation, the second operation being an operation specific to the second peer group; and coordinating the first and second operations performed at the first and second peer groups such that a common computing, communication, and/or storage task is accomplished by aggregating the operations.

20. A system for use in a computing environment including one or more agents networked together, to performing computing, communication, and/or storage tasks, the system comprising:
-
membership in a first peer group, the first peer group being configured for a first operation; membership in a second peer group, the second peer group being configured for a second operation; and a module configured to coordinate the first and second operations such that a common computing, communication, and/or storage task is accomplished by aggregating the operations.
