Abstract: A device for generating a performance evaluation program includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to: analyze a source code of a target program that is subject to performance evaluation, translate the source code into a binary code based on an analysis result of the source code while generating execution binary that has an evaluation area to be used in the performance evaluation at a target location corresponding to a candidate location of the target program, and write an evaluation code in the evaluation area of the execution binary to evaluate performance of the target program based on an evaluation item and the target location of the target program.

Abstract: An arithmetic processing device executes a program, and gives first sequence information to a first start time when a first process included in the program starts a first interprocess communication. Then, the first start time and the first sequence information are written in a main storage device. When second sequence information given to a second start time when a second process starts a second interprocess communication is newer than the first sequence information, an operational circuit in a communication control device does not carry out an operation using the first start time. On the other hand, when the second sequence information corresponds to the first sequence information, the operational circuit carries out an operation using the first start time and the second start time and outputs the operation result.
