Each of a plurality of processors is provided with a run queue for holding executable processes, and a watch process for each processor to watch the execution status of its own to notify the rebuilding of the run queue to other processor and a rebuild step for rebuilding the run queue in response to the notice are stored in a shared memory as a program.
