  • Patent number: 11467944
    Abstract: In an information processing apparatus (100), obtaining units such as a first obtaining unit (200) and a second obtaining unit (230) obtain general-purpose OS information in a test operation phase in which a real-time application and a plurality of general-purpose applications are executed. The general-purpose OS information is information on use of hardware by each of the plurality of general-purpose applications executed in the test operation phase. A management unit (220) verifies whether or not a condition to place a restriction on the use of the hardware is satisfied for each general-purpose application based on the general-purpose OS information obtained by the obtaining unit. The management unit (220), when the condition is verified as being satisfied, places a restriction on the use of the hardware for an applicable general-purpose application in an actual operation phase in which the real-time application and the plurality of general-purpose applications are executed.

  • Patent number: 11409566
    Abstract: A process control unit (41) causes a plurality of control-target processes to operate in a memory area of a size equal to or smaller than a limiting value x. When a stopping process is detected, a resource allocation unit (43) allocates a size of a usable memory area for each of the control-target processes as a relaxed limiting value. When the stopping process is detected, the process control unit (41) causes each of the control-target processes to perform fallback operation in a memory area of a size equal to or smaller than the relaxed limiting value allocated to the process by the resource allocation unit (43).

  • Patent number: 11256537
    Abstract: An interrupt handler unit (130) generates a timer interrupt at an interrupt time, and executes an interrupt preparation process. A wait time period measurement unit (142) a measures a time period from completion of the interrupt preparation process to generation of a start request (201) as a wait time period. A time calculation unit (441) calculates a subtraction time period based on the wait time period measured by the wait time period measurement unit (142), and calculates a preparation time period that is the sum of a time period obtained by subtracting the subtraction time period from the wait time period and a processing time period of the interrupt preparation process. The time calculation unit (441) stores a time obtained by shifting back the preparation time period from the time of a next start request (201), as a next interrupt time, in a time storage unit (442).

  • Publication number: 20210365033
    Abstract: An operation path generation unit (210) generates an operation quantity time series for an actuator (111) based on a measurement state quantity output from a state sensor (101). A predictive model unit (220) generates a state quantity predictive time series by calculating a predictive model by using as an input the measurement state quantity and the operation quantity time series. A neural network unit (230) corrects the state quantity predictive time series by performing arithmetic operation of a neural network, by using as an input a measurement environment quantity output from an environment sensor (102) and the state quantity predictive time series. A state quantity evaluation unit (240) generates an evaluation result for the state quantity time series after the correction. The operation path generation unit outputs an operation quantity at the head of the operation quantity time series to the actuator when the evaluation result fulfils an appropriate criterion.

  • Publication number: 20210208945
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (100) has a ring buffer (113) and a save area (117). A log generation unit (108) generates a log of an application (107) in the ring buffer (113). A resource monitoring unit (109) monitors a current resource-usage amount for the application (107). A rule collation unit (111) determines whether the current resource-usage amount for the application (107) meets a log saving condition that is a condition for saving the log of the application (107). A log saving unit (112) saves, in the save area (117), the log in the ring buffer (113), if the current resource-usage amount for the application (107) is determined by the rule collation unit (111) to meet the log saving condition.
