Abstract:
1. A cluster system comprising a plurality of cluster members, wherein each of said plurality of cluster members comprises a processor and a memory comprising: a protocol processing section configured to execute a protocol process; a communication API section configured to read data from said protocol processing section and write data in said protocol processing section depending on a kind of call; and a trapping section configured to trap a call to said communication API section from an application program operating on a self cluster member to call said communication API section instead of the application program, to execute a process determined depending on the kind of the call, to the data read from said protocol processing section by said communication API section based on the call or the data written into said protocol processing section by said communication API section based on the call, and to execute a process determined based on a kind of a data transmitted from another cluster member to the transmitted data, each of said plurality of cluster members is operable independently and individually to execute a communication process via an API section in an application process and a protocol process.
