Abstract

Hybrid programming combines certain aspects of the synchronous calling nature of a thread-oriented programming model with certain aspects of the asynchronous calling nature of an event-oriented programming model by creating parallelized calls. In a described implementation, multiple synchronous calls are transformed into multiple asynchronous calls and encapsulated within a barrier time period. A hybrid programming model or protocol may be employed, for example, in conjunction with communication exchanges in a multiple-phase and multiple-party distributed programming environment.
