Abstract

The method and system disclosed herein is for compiling and executing a plurality of software codes. The requests from users are parsed and loaded using a set of child processes or a thread pool. A request handler is used to handle the compilation and execution requests from the user. Requests from a plurality of client processes are listed to compile and execute the solution codes from a plurality of users. A set of common libraries and system libraries for each compilation request are stored in a memory and loaded on to a compiler. Using the stored common libraries and system libraries, an executable binary format of the software code is created by the compiler. The executable binary format of the software code is loaded on a file system for further executions.

Claims

1. A method of compiling and executing a plurality of software codes provided by a plurality of clients, comprising the steps of:

providing a request handling set of child processes to handle compilation and execution requests from said plurality of clients, wherein said request handling set of child processes are forked;

providing a compilation set of child processes, wherein said compilation set of child processes are forked;

providing an execution set of child processes, wherein said execution set of child processes are forked;

parsing said compilation and execution requests using the request handling set of child processes;

loading said parsed compilation and execution requests in a request queue using the request handling set of child processes;

transferring the execution requests from said request queue to a run request queue using the request handling set of child processes;

compiling said plurality of software codes by processing the compilation requests in the request queue using the compilation set of child processes; and

executing the plurality of software codes by processing the execution requests in the run request queue using the execution set of child processes.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request handling set of child processes listen for broadcasts of requests from each of the plurality of clients.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting a response to a requesting client subsequent to the handling of a request of said requesting client, wherein said request is one of a compilation and an execution request.

4. A method of compiling and executing a plurality of software codes provided by a plurality of clients, comprising the steps of:

providing a request handling thread pool to handle compilation and execution requests from said plurality of clients;

providing a compilation thread pool;

providing an execution thread pool;

parsing said compilation and execution requests using said request handling thread pool;

loading said parsed compilation and execution requests in a request queue using the request handling thread pool;

transferring the execution requests from said request queue to a run request queue using the request handling thread pool;

compiling said plurality of software codes based on the compilation requests in the request queue using said compilation thread pool; and

executing the plurality of software codes based on the execution requests in the run request queue using said execution thread pool.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said step of compiling the plurality of software codes comprises linking each of the plurality of software codes with common libraries and system libraries.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein said step of compiling the plurality of software codes comprises loading said common libraries and system libraries, storing the common libraries and system libraries in a system file cache, loading and parsing each of plurality of software codes, and linking said parsed software codes with the common libraries and system libraries.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said system file cache stores header files used for compiling C and C++ software codes.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein said system file cache stores class libraries for compiling Java®

software codes.

9. The method of claim 4, wherein said step of compiling the plurality of software codes comprises storing object files in a binary cache, wherein said stored object files are used in subsequent compilations of the C and C++ software codes.

10. The method of claim 4, wherein said step of compiling the plurality of software codes comprises storing class files in the binary cache, wherein said stored class files are used in subsequent compilations of the Java®

software codes.

11. A system for compiling and executing a plurality of software codes provided by a plurality of clients, comprising:

a compilation server to compile each of said plurality of software codes, said compilation server comprising;

a parsing module to parse incoming compilation and execution requests from said plurality of clients;

a request handler to load said compilation and execution requests in a queue;

a system file cache to store common libraries and system libraries;

a compiler to link each of the plurality of software codes with said stored common libraries and system libraries, and compile said linked software codes;

a binary cache to store output files generated by compiling the linked software codes;

an execution module to execute said compiled software codes; and

a file system to load said executed software codes.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein said system file cache is used for storing header files used for compiling C and C++ software codes.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein said system file cache is used for storing class libraries used for compiling Java software codes.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein said binary cache stores object files generated by compiling C and C++ software codes.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein said binary cache stores class files generated by compiling Java software codes.

16. A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions embodied in a computer-readable medium, said computer program product including:

a first computer parsable program code for providing a request handling set of child processes to parse incoming compilation and execution requests and load said parsed requests in a queue, wherein said request handling set of child processes are forked;

a second computer parsable program code for providing a request handling thread pool to parse incoming compilation and execution requests and load said parsed requests in a queue;

a third computer parsable program code for providing a compilation set of child processes to compile a plurality of software codes, wherein said compilation set of child processes are forked;

a fourth computer parsable program code for providing a compilation thread pool to compile said plurality of software codes;

a fifth computer parsable program code for parsing and loading common libraries and system libraries;

an sixth computer parsable program code for storing said parsed common libraries and system libraries in a system file cache;

a seventh computer parsable program code for parsing and loading the plurality of software codes, and linking said parsed software codes with the parsed common libraries and system libraries;

an eighth computer parsable program code for providing an execution set of child processes to execute the plurality software codes, wherein said execution set of child processes are forked;

a ninth computer parsable program code for providing an execution thread pool to execute the plurality of software codes; and

a tenth computer parsable program code for loading said executed software codes on a file system.
