Distribution of functions to computers of network system - having number of computers designated as control units that can exchange functions and can assign functions

摘要

The operating system of a computer network in which there are a number of computers that operate to a group of priority rules. The rules are interpreted by a selected control computer that is one of a defined group. Each control computer handles a specific set of functions that are less than the complete operating set for the complete process. Control computers are organised to exchange control functions with each other. The operations are distributed between the computers of the network in a way that minimises the cycle time. USE/ADVANTAGE - Improved operating system for computer network. Minimises cycle time.
