A computer system and method for executing several processes in tandem, that includes a scarce resource, which is accessed by the processes to be executed. A first device is provided for computing the capacity load of the scarce resource, a second device is provided for determining a load responsibility of a process that accesses the scarce resource, and a third device is provided for delaying the execution of a process that accesses the scarce resource depending on each of the capacity load, the critical capacity load of the scarce resource, and the load responsibility of the process. In this way, a blocking of the scarce resource with a limited capacity, and thus of the computer system, can be prevented.
A computer system for parallel execution of a plurality of processes using a scarce resource R which is to be accessed by the plurality of processes, the computer system comprising:
