Abstract

Techniques are described for providing a non-blocking application object framework allowing parallelization of operation and function calls throughout an application executing within the framework. In one example, a dependency model associated with an application in a non-blocking application object framework is identified, where the application is associated with a plurality of operations and the dependency model defines at least one dependency between at least two of the operations. At runtime of the non-blocking application object framework, the identified dependency model is interpreted. An optimized execution plan of the application is automatically generated in the non-blocking application object framework based on the interpreted dependency model, wherein at least a first portion of the operations of the application are optimized in a sequential execution order based on dependencies defined in the dependency model. The application is then executed in the non-blocking application object framework based on the optimized execution plan.
