PARALLEL PROCESSING SYSTEM, SERVER, PARALLEL PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a parallel processing system and the like that can increase the efficiency and speed of parallel processing by executing processing related to parallel processing on a processing terminal device in accordance with operational status, throughput and the like. SOLUTION: A master 2 sets processing time depending on the throughput for participating slaves 7 including slaves 7-1 and 7-2 executing processing (Step 50), and computes a predicted end time of the next processing = (processing time) + (remaining processing time of current processing) for each slave 7 (Step 51). The master 2 sets a processing request rank in ascending order of predicted next processing end time, and according to the processing request rank and priority levels of processing assignments input in advance into a priority table 34 (Step 52), allocates allocation processing of higher priority level to the slaves 7 of higher processing request rank (Step 53).
