A regularizer process is started by a first thread executing at a computing device. The regularizer process is a separate process from a process executing on the first thread. The started regularizer process sends a presence announcement to a controller device and receives a presence acknowledgement from the controller device. The started regularizer process sends a notification to the first thread that it is ready to receive streamed data. The started regularizer process receives, from the controller device, an indicator of a data provider system that is to connect to it, receives a connection request from the data provider system, compares the received connection request to the received indicator, sends a connection acknowledgement to the data provider system when the received connection request matches the received indicator, accepts a connection from the data provider system, and receives the streamed data through the connection.
