Abstract:
A method for installing a program to be executed in parallel in a parallel computer system in which a distributing node for delivering said program and at least one of receiving nodes for receiving and executing said program are connected via an internal network, said method comprising the steps of:a) storing each of data blocks divided in a block size from said program stored in a storage device, to each of storage areas of a first data buffer divided in said block size in order, in said distributing node; b) sending each of said data blocks read from said first data buffer to said receiving nodes in order, in parallel of said storing process in said step a), based on a first buffer management table storing buffer states corresponding to said storage areas of said first data buffer, in said distributing node; c) storing said data blocks received from said distributing node to storage areas of a second data buffer divided in said block size in order, in said receiving node; and d) storing each of said data blocks read from said second data buffer to a storage device of each of said receiving nodes in order, in parallel of said storing process in said step c), based on a second buffer management table storing buffer states corresponding to said storage areas of said second data buffer, in said receiving node.
