Information processing apparatus, computer program, and method for controlling execution of jobs

摘要

An information processing apparatus submits jobs for execution on a server. Jobs are classified into a plurality of groups, and these groups are ranked in ascending order of workload that the groups of jobs impose on the server. A processor in the information processing apparatus counts ongoing jobs that are currently executed on the server and belong to a specified number of top-ranked groups. The processor designates pending jobs that belong to other groups than the specified number of top-ranked groups and suspends submission of processing requests of the designated pending jobs to the server, when the number of ongoing jobs is greater than or equal to a threshold and when there are one or more pending jobs that belong to the specified number of top-ranked groups.

1. An information processing apparatus coupled to a server, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to perform a procedure including:
classifying jobs to be executed by the server into a plurality of groups, the groups being ranked in ascending order of workload that the groups of jobs impose on the server; counting a number of ongoing jobs that are currently executed on the server and belong to a specified number of top-ranked groups; and designating pending jobs that belong to other groups than the specified number of top-ranked groups and suspending submission of processing requests of the designated pending jobs to the server, when the number of ongoing jobs is greater than or equal to a threshold and when there are one or more pending jobs that belong to the specified number of top-ranked groups.
