Abstract
In this computer system, a plurality of processing elements (PE), each having at least two channel processors which manage corresponding communication channels separately, are connected in a ring via the channel processors to form a processing element loop (10). Some of the processing elements are designated as process managers (SM.sub.1 -SM.sub.n) which manage the corresponding process frame groups (20) comprising a predetermined number of process frames. At least one other element is designated as a master manager (MM) which manages those process managers. The respective process managers (SM.sub.1 -SM.sub.n) each allocate a predetermined process to any one process frame of the process frame group (20) which that process manager manages in accordance with each requirement from the master manager (MM) to cause that process frame to execute the predetermined process. Thus both of the function and load decentralizing functions as a computer system are satisfied on the basis of the function of the master managers (SM.sub.1 -SM.sub.n) and process manager (MM).
