Abstract
In a system including a plurality of processors for executing jobs, an execution processor of which the number of jobs waiting for execution is large is changed to a low-loaded processor so that distribution of the load among the processors is achieved. When jobs are inputted to a processor, a job scheduler stores job information in a job status table and sequentially executed the jobs. Processor monitor control units mutually communicate the load status of the processors by using the communication control unit, and store the status in the operation status table. A job execution processor change control unit changes the jobs waiting for execution in the job status table to the low-loaded processor in the operation status table. The job transfer control unit transfers the jobs to the job execution processor.
