PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a parallel computer for a multi-user by interrupting and resuming a processing for transmitting the arbitrary number of messages in each node. SOLUTION: A sender part 5 of a network interface adapter(NIA) 3 functioning as an interface between a processor and a network in each node is provided with a means for detecting the establishment of a message transmission processing interruption condition, means for interrupting the message transmission processing for a message transmission unit when the message transmission processing interruption condition is detected, and means for storing control information (SMCW) for resuming the interrupted message transmission processing. The SMCW is processed for queuing in a main storage 2, and a processor 1 reads the SMCW from the main storage 2, and transmits it to the NIA 3. Thus, the interrupted message transmission processing can be resumed. |
