Control and monitoring of a machine arrangement

A system for controlling and/or monitoring a machine arrangement that includes at least one machine with the aid of a processor arrangement having a plurality of processors, each with at least one core, the system comprising:

• means for classifying at least one core as available or unavailable on the basis of a utilization level of the at least one core specified in a directory;
• means for selecting a first available core and at least one second available core on the proviso that the first and second cores are implemented on different processors of the processor arrangement;
• means for processing first process signals redundantly with the aid of the selected first and second cores;
• means for controlling and/or monitoring the machine arrangement on the basis of the first process signals;
• (d) means for selecting a third available core different from the first core and at least one fourth available core different from the first core, on the proviso that the third available core and the at least one fourth available core are implemented on different processors of the processor arrangement;
• (e) means for processing second process signals redundantly with the aid of the third and fourth selected cores;
• and
• (f) means for controlling and/or monitoring the machine arrangement on the basis of the second process signals;
• wherein selecting is carried out on the basis of an updated directory.
