Abstract
In a consumer-producer distributed model of computing, consumers request data from producers and perform computing work on the data received from the producers, thereby transforming the data. At least some of the computing work performed by a consumer on data provided by the producer is commutable between the consumer and producer, that is, either the producer as well as the consumer can perform the computing work on the data. A producer redistributes commutable based on the work load of the producer and consumer as well as other factors.
