Abstract:
A packet processing device is connected as a route of a plurality of I/O devices and configures a PCIe fabric. The packet processing device includes a plurality of first request processing units and a second request processing unit that process a PCIe packet issuing request to the I/O device; and a first selecting unit that selects the plurality of first request processing units or the second request processing unit, based on a request classification of the PCIe packet issuing request, and a load exerted on the PCIe fabric by a packet to be transmitted to the I/O device. The first selecting unit includes a first determining unit that determines whether the PCIe packet issuing request is possible to pass another PCIe packet issuing request being processed by the first request processing unit, based on a transaction identifier included in the PCIe packet issuing request.
Abstract:
A communication system is provided with a transmission terminal and a reception terminal that communicate over a network, and the transmission terminal includes: an encoded packet generation unit which encodes a predetermined number of packets and transmits the encoded packets to the reception terminal over the network; a network environment measurement unit which measures the state of the network; and a parameter calculation unit which determines the predetermined number of packets by using a characteristics to be guaranteed in regard to delay time required for a packet transmitted from the transmission terminal to arrive at the reception terminal and the state of the network. In the communication system in which the transmission terminal and the reception terminal communicate via the network on which a packet loss may occur, a characteristic regarding a packet delay time specified by a user is guaranteed.

Abstract:
An input/output process allocation control device includes: allocation unit that, in a case where a second information processing resource element different from a first information processing resource element executes an input/output-data-transmission/reception-process with an input/output device in response to an access request to the input/output device by the first information processing resource element, the first and second information processing resource elements being among a plurality of information processing resource elements included in an information processing apparatus, allocates the input/output-data-transmission/reception-process to the second information processing resource element and excluding the second information processing resource element, of the plurality of information processing resource elements, from a new allocation destination of a process including an access request to the input/output device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides technology that improves the performance of a distributed processing system by preventing increases in data volume from causing deterioration of data access processing performance. A distributed processing system 1 comprises: a data holding device 11; and distributed processing devices 10 that have a distributed processing execution unit 101 and a data access processing unit 102. The data holding device 11 holds data that is used in distributed processing. The distributed processing execution unit 101 executes tasks that have been allocated to the device thereof in the distributed processing. The data access processing unit 102 issues access processing commands on a block-by-block basis for the blocks that constitute a storage area of the data holding device 11 by aggregating by block the access processing requests made of the data holding device 11 by the distributed processing execution unit 101.
