First Claim
1. A node that includes a CPU and that is connected to other nodes to constitute a computer system, the node comprising:
- process execution means for executing one or more processes including predetermined functions;
a shared memory that stores system information including process information related to each process executed by each node included in the computer system, in a state accessible from each process executed by the process execution means;
system information transmission means for multicasting system information including process information related to each process executed by the process execution means in the system information to the other nodes; and
system information storage means for receiving the system information multicast from the other nodes to store the system information in the shared memory.

Abstract
To facilitate changing a system configuration and allow having high redundancy in a computer system connecting a plurality of nodes. A node includes a CPU and constitutes a computer system. The node executes one or more processes and including predetermined functions. 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.
