INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSOR, MULTIPROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing technique capable of shortening processing time or improving processing efficiency in processing of a plurality of files by further effectively utilizing parallel processing property by a multiprocessor. SOLUTION: A PU 8 divides, upon receipt of processing instruction to processing object files stored in a flash memory 20, the processing object files into groups. The PU 8 assigns a reading buffer and a writing buffer for each group to a RAM 16, and assigns each SPU 3a-3h to each group. The PU 8 reads all the processing object files from an HD 33 to each reading buffer corresponding to each group. The PU makes each SPU 3a-3h perform processing to each processing object file read to each reading buffer, and write the processed file to each writing buffer. The PU 8 writes the processed file written to each writing buffer by each SPU 3a-3h to the HD 33. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
