SYSTEM FOR DETECTING ABNORMALITY IN PARALLEL COMPUTER, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a prompt and adequate response by specifying an abnormal part when abnormality occurs in a parallel computer. SOLUTION: An abnormality detecting system of the parallel computer is used by connecting a plurality of nodes individually including a CPU board to a server via a network. The server comprises an operation state monitor program for monitoring the operation state of each node by fixed period via the network, and is set to output the operation state monitor result signal of each node. Each node comprises a function for normally performing self diagnosis, and is set to normally output the self diagnostic result signal of the operation state in every node by fixed time. The system includes: a switching device for switching the operation state monitor result signal of each node into the self diagnostic result signal of the operation state in each node; and a monitor for displaying the output of the switching device.
