Abstract
A multi-computer system is disclosed which is composed of a plurality of interconnected computers, one of which operates as a schedule master for the others. Information stored in a bulk memory device is pre-loaded into the schedule master before the time at which an invocation from an industrial process occurs, and then the same is transferred into any one of the computers for process control. The advanced time at which the information is pre-loaded into the schedule master is varied in accordance with the load on the multicomputer system.
