Abstract
An interface description language (IDL) compiler generates a descriptor for invoking a method implemented by a software component or a target unit by source units, where the descriptor customizes the invocation by one or more source units based on, at least in part, whether a respective source unit and the target unit are mapped to the same core or to different cores, as specified by a unit-core map. Additionally or in the alternative, the invocation may depend on whether the method is synchronous, asynchronous, or unspecified. Using the unit-core map, a channel associated with a method may be monitored efficiently by avoiding monitoring of the source units that are mapped to the same core as the target unit is.
