A plurality of nodes is provided with N-dimensional coordinates identified by N coordinate axes, and a connection relation of the nodes is managed using the N-dimensional coordinates. A management apparatus detects an available free node group from the plurality of nodes, upon acquiring a processing request having specified therein a number of nodes for each coordinate axis for a node group to be used for processing, and converts the number of nodes of two or more coordinate axes out of the number of nodes of the N coordinate axes specified in the processing request, according to the number of nodes aligned in each coordinate axis direction of the free node group. The management apparatus allocates nodes included in the free node group to the processing request, according to the converted number of nodes for each coordinate axis. |
