Process management apparatus, computer systems, distributed processing method, and computer program

摘要

When performing distributed processing in processing devices connected to a network and a processing managing device for managing the processing devices, it is possible to eliminate the overhead of the processing management device. The processing management device (PU) (203) managing processing devices (SPU) (207) under its control lists the network address of the SPU (207) and other SPU connected to the network and resource information indicating the current task execution ability of the SPU in a resource list. When one of the SPU transmits a task request to the PU (203), the PU (203) specifies one or more SPU capable of performing the task request in the resource list and requests the specified SPU to execute a task including the execution result specification destination, thereby enabling execution result transmission/reception not using the PU (203).
