[Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the flow of operation of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a computer system according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a capability table, and FIG. 1
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example program name table, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example operating rate table, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the processing computer determination program according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a load monitoring center 20 is connected to a network 90 to which computers 1 to 5 are connected. The load monitoring center 20 includes computers 1 to 5 for real number calculation processing, vector processing, character processing, and graphic processing, as shown in FIG.
Each computer 1 has a capability table 10 showing the capabilities of each computer 1, and a program name table 11 showing the names of programs to be used for real number calculation processing, vector processing, character processing, and graphic processing as shown in FIG. The operating rate of ~5 is determined from the operating time of the processor within a predetermined period of time, and an operating rate table 12 as shown in FIG. 6 is created.

Furthermore, a processing computer determination program as shown in FIG. 7 is provided. Therefore, taking as an example the case where program A of computer 1 then operates program b, the operation will be explained according to (1) to (2) in FIG.

(2) Program A sends the name b of the program to be run next and parameters to the program management section 16 and requests activation. (2) The program management section 16 sends the ID of the requesting computer 1, the requesting program name A, the name of the program to be run b, and parameters to the load monitoring center 20 and requests activation.

In accordance with the processing computer determination program shown in FIG. 7, the load monitoring center 20 selects the program name table 11 shown in FIG. 5 from the program name b notified in S1.
The real number arithmetic processing of the processing type is determined using , and the processing capacity of each computer 1 to 5 is calculated for the real number arithmetic processing determined in S2.

[0013] In this case, if the computer 1 that has sent the notification is the processing computer, since the processing is performed within the computer 1, there is no need for the overhead of the ID of the requesting computer.
A(1-
Find L).

When the other computers 2 to 4 are used as processing computers, an overhead of the ID of the requesting computer is required, so A(1-L) is multiplied by a count C of, for example, 0.9, taking into account the overhead. Find the processing power of the computer with the most margin for real number calculations,
For example, computer 2 is determined to be the processing computer that uses program b.

■Therefore, the load monitoring center 20 in FIG.
The ID of the requesting computer 1, the requesting program name A, the program name b to be operated, and parameters are sent to the program management section 17 of the computer 2.

(2) The program management section 17 sends parameters to program b and starts it. (2) Then, program b performs processing and sends the processing results to the program management section 17. (2) The program management section 17 sends the ID of the requesting computer 1, the requesting program name A, and the processing result to the load monitoring center 20.

■The load monitoring center 20 sends the requesting program name A and the processing result to the requesting computer 1. (2) The program management section 16 sends the processing result to the requesting program A.

That is, the processing of the program b that follows the program A of the computer 1 is performed by the program b of the computer 2, which has the most capacity among the plurality of computers 1 to 5, and only the processing results are transferred to the program of the computer 1. Since the data is sent to A, the processing is distributed without being concentrated on a specific computer, and the throughput of the computer system can be improved.

[0019]

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, each program process includes the following program processes:
Since the program of the computer with the most available capacity among multiple computers is used to send the results, the processing is distributed and the throughput of the computer system is improved without concentrating the processing on a specific computer. There is an effect that can be done.
