The node includes a shared memory that stores system information including process information related to each process executed by each node, in a state accessible from each process of its own node. In the node, the system information including the process information related to each process of its own node is multicast to the other nodes. A shared memory control process of the node receives the system information multicast from the other nodes and stores the system information in the shared memory. | 12-19-2013 |
