SELECTION OF CALCULATION NODE IN PC CLUSTER COMPUTER, START OF SELECTED CALCULATION NODE, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULING PROCESSING OF PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it is impossible to automatically detect a service providing apparatus and the suited state of an OS included in a client computer and to select a starting method in a conventional computer node selecting method in the case of constructing a PC cluster computer in an environment where a personal computer having a different OS, a personal computer having different performance and the service providing apparatus are mixed.;SOLUTION: A service providing apparatus can be detected by a detection function of the service providing apparatus and a client computer starting method can be selected by a determination function of an OS included in the client computer. Further a process can be performed within the shortest time by a grouping function and a program distribution schedule preparing function.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
