Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to identify a reducible message string by using state transition information. The reducible message string is used to reduce a message string held in a message queue. The state transition information indicates a relationship between a message for executing a service and transition of a state of the service. The processor is configured to detect the reducible message string included in the message string. The processor is configured to reduce the message string held in the message queue by using the reducible message string.

Abstract: There is provided a film forming apparatus for forming a silicon nitride film on a substrate by having a precursor gas containing silicon to react with a reaction gas containing nitrogen, including: a processing container configured to form a vacuum atmosphere; a substrate mounting part installed in the processing container; a precursor gas supply part configured to supply a precursor gas into the processing container; a reaction gas supply part configured to supply a reaction gas containing nitrogen into the processing container; and an ultraviolet irradiating part configured to excite the reaction gas before the reaction gas reacts with the precursor gas, wherein a substrate on the substrate mounting part is not irradiated with an ultraviolet ray emitted from the ultraviolet irradiating part.
