Abstract
In a multiprocessor system, each processor system comprises a first storage means for storing the number of a failing processor among the processors in the processor system, a first notice acceptance means for accepting a notice of the number of a failing processor in another processor and writing the failing processor number to the first storage means, a second notice acceptance means for accepting a notice of initialization from another processor system to initialize own processor, and a notice means for issuing the notice of the initialization to all other processors. The multiprocessor system further comprises a system control processor analysis means for determining the system control processor from among the normally operating processors and a system restart control means for determining whether to perform system restart and, if own processor matches the system control processor, performing the initialization.
