Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor couple to the memory and configured to generate one or more job groups by grouping multiple jobs of execution targets in descending order of priority, and perform a control for scheduling execution timings regarding the multiple jobs such that scheduling of respective jobs included in a specific job group including a job having a higher priority is implemented by priority over scheduling of respective jobs included in other job groups. The processor performs the control for scheduling the execution timings of the respective jobs included in the specific job group such that an execution completion time of all the jobs included in the specific job group satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: In a system including a plurality of nodes, a plurality of first relay devices, and a plurality of second relay devices, where each first relay device is connected to two or more second relay devices, the nodes are classified into a plurality of groups such that different nodes individually connected to different first relay devices having different sets of second relay devices connected thereto are classified into different groups. A representative node is selected from each group. Communication order of a first broadcast operation performed between the representative nodes is determined such that the number of source nodes transmitting data in parallel increases. Communication order of a second broadcast operation performed for each group after the first broadcast operation is determined such that the representative node of the group acts as a first source node and the number of source nodes transmitting the data in parallel increases.
