Abstract
Techniques are provided for latency-hiding context management for concurrent distributed tasks. A plurality of task objects is processed, including a first task object corresponding to a first task that includes access to first data residing on a remote machine. A first access request is added to a request buffer. A first task reference identifying the first task object is added to a companion buffer. A request message including the request buffer is sent to the remote machine. A response message is received, including first response data responsive to the first access request. For each response of one or more responses of the response message, the response is read from the response message, a next task reference is read from the companion buffer, and a next task corresponding to the next task reference is continued based on the response. The first task is identified and continued.
