DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND RECORDED MEDIUM

摘要

A technique for realizing cooperation between processing units. Data outputt ed from processing units (GSM) (1) is integrated by sub-mergers (sub-MGs) (3). The output data of the sub-MGs (3) is integrated by a main MG (200) and displayed on a display (DP). Each GSM (1) carries out a drawing processing assigned to it when it receives a drawing permission signal (DrawNext) and outputs a drawing end signal (DrawDone) after the drawing. The GSM to send t he drawing permission signal (DrawNext) and the GSM to receive the drawing end signal (DrawDone) are determined for each application. A main SYNC (300), on receiving a processing request, sends a drawing permission signal (DrawNext) to the relevant GSM (1) in the order prescribed for the application, receive s the drawing end signal (DrawDone) from the relevant GSM (1), and displays th e results of these processings on a display.
