Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A data processing system uses a plurality of individual code segments, forming unique and autonomous tools, which are bound into a complete executable process only at the time of loading or executing the process. This enables process code to be short and the required tools to be brought into and out of local memory only when required. The system may have an interconnected array of processor nodes and allocates processes in a parallel fashion between nodes automatically and transparently to the user ensuring, that the most efficient use is made of the processing power available. Tools are stored in a virtual code that enables portability between different hardware architectures.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 1, 1993 and granted April 30, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 1, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 1, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
