Abstract
A method and system are disclosed in which, when the load of a processor in a given computer is high, a processor is borrowed from another computer. The computer from which the processor is borrowed is selected based on an acquired load state of the other computer, and a processor lending request is issued to the selected computer. The computer which received the processor lending request selects a processor for lending, and causes the selected processor to execute a process of the computer which issued the lending request. This distributes the load on the processor by utilizing the processor resources of other computers.
