In a system including a plurality of processors for executing jobs, a job scheduler for controlling the sequence of executing said jobs, a communication control unit for carrying out data transmission between said plurality of processors, and job transfer means for carrying out transfer of jobs between said plurality of processors,a method for changing a job execution processor, including the steps of:

  • a processor monitoring step for mutually monitoring a load status of each of said plurality of processors;

    a job execution processor determining step for determining a job execution processor by comparing the load statuses of all of said plurality of processors when a job is inputted to the system, wherein said step of comparing the load statuses of all of said plurality of processors is performed by referring to an operation status table that stores the load statuses of all of said plurality of processors; and

    a job execution processor changing step for mutually changing a job execution processor that has already been determined for executing a job queued for execution by one of said plurality of processors, by comparing the load statuses of the processors stored in the operation status table, at regular intervals.
