Which huge amount of data? The datastructure you talked about can remain
in the process. You only have to transfer the input for your calculation
in the queue but you have to do that anyway. And there is only one run
call per process. When run has terminated the process exits, so you
would have a loop in the run(0 method getting work from the queue.
