ABSTRACT:
An operating system (OS) is divided into units (OS processes) which are concurrently executable. When the processors concurrently request the execution of one OS process, data indicating that the requested OS process is in a ready state is loaded into a memory. The other processors repeatedly make an access to the data during the course of the execution of the user's task to check to see whether the ready-state OS process is present or not. A processor when detecting the ready-state OS process ceases the execution of the user's program and executes that OS process.
