Abstract
A parallel transaction processing system performs efficient parallel processing of multiple tasks and includes a queue for storing a plurality of transaction data which can be processed independently, a control table containing control information for the queue and means for operating a plurality of tasks which performs the same processing on the transaction data stored in the queue. A corresponding parallel transaction processing method includes the steps of: storing a plurality of transaction data in a queue which can be processed independently, providing a control table containing control information for the queue, and operating a plurality of tasks which perform the same processing on the transaction data stored in the queue. Each of the operated tasks reserves a predetermined number of consecutive transaction data for processing among unprocessed transaction data stored in the queue by referencing the control table, writes its reservation status in the control table and, upon having processed the reserved transaction data, writes its processing status in the control table.
