A compiler method is disclosed which defines a data flow for a specific complex function to be executed on a plurality of data processing elements in a distributed processing system, by means of defining a plurality of control blocks which are associated with each task. The control blocks are in relocatable code so that they may be associated with any one of several similar types of data processing elements within the distributed processing network. The control blocks include local operating system control blocks, token control, post and wait control blocks, and processing element task execution control blocks. The use of the distributed processing system compiler method enables the quick and easy implementation of complex functions having interdependent processing tasks in a distributed processing system.
