An information processor that is connected to at least one other information processor via a network, includes a detecting unit that detects an optional device to be used for information processing, as a target optional device, installed on the other information processor, an issuing unit that issues an access request to use the target optional device to the other information processor, a receiving unit that receives an access permission for access to the target optional device from the other information processor, and a processing unit that performs the information processing with the target optional device.
摘要:
A high-speed serial switch fabric is configured to perform a mapping of a traffic class that is capable of differentiating traffics onto a virtual channel. The high-speed serial switch fabric connects a plurality of devices. A traffic-class setting unit sets, when a conflict occurs between devices connected to the high-speed serial switch fabric, the traffic class for each of traffics in the devices having the conflict. A channel setting unit assigns each of set traffic classes to different virtual channels, and gives a priority of data communication to each of the set traffic classes.
