CALCULATION SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide an improved message distribution system for guaranteeing the reception of a series of sequenced messages in a necessary sequence. CONSTITUTION: A calculation system includes plural nodes connected by a communication network 20. Each node includes a communication interface enabling exchange of a message with another node. An operable queue is maintained in the node, plural message entries are included, and each message entry includes an output message control data structure. Moreover, the node includes a memory for storing the plural output message control data structures, and each output message control data structure includes one or plural chained other control data structures for defining data including a message to be dispatched or one part of the message. The control structure chained from the output message control data structure indicates a sequence dependent relation.
