Patent ID: 7370328

Claim:
In a parallel processing method for parallelly processing a plurality of jobs comprising communication processing between a host computer and a plurality of processors and calculation processing in said processors by said plurality of processors in a computer system comprising said host computer and said plurality of processors connected to said host computer through a common bus, a job assignment method in a parallel processing method characterized in that jobs are assigned to said processors in such a manner that an average value of ratios between communication times and calculation times of said job falls within a predetermined value; and a job assignment method in a parallel processing method characterized in that jobs are assigned to said respective processors in such a manner that an average value of ratios between communication times and calculation times of said jobs becomes equal to 1/(the number of said processors) when a whole communication time of said plurality of jobs is nearly equal to a total amount of calculation times in one job obtained when a plurality of jobs are equally assigned to said plurality of jobs.
