Abstract
The present invention allows a multi-threaded process to access an un-shareable resource without modifying the multi-threaded process. A binder is created for the multi-threaded process to access the un-shareable resource. All requests from the multi-threaded process to access the un-shareable resource are intercepted by the binder and the binder decides how to redirect or reformulate the requests to access the un-shareable resource. The present invention allows a process to dynamically bind to an interface at run time to establish communication channels among multiple concurrent computing resources in a concurrent computing environment. Hence, a user can choose to change to use a different interface during run time of the process without terminating the execution of the process.
