  • Publication number: 20160182359
    Abstract: A system has a group of nodes that perform multi-hop communication therebetween and a communications apparatus that communicates with a node included in the group of nodes. The node adds to data transmitted by the node, a hop count updated each time the data is transferred by the multi-hop communication and a reference hop count for the data to be transferred from the node to the communications apparatus, and transmits the data. The communications apparatus, when receiving the data, compares the reference hop count and the hop count added to the data, and based on a result of comparison, determines whether failure has occurred at a given node in the group of nodes.

  • Patent number: 9367459
    Abstract: A scheduling method of a scheduler that manages threads is executed by a computer. The scheduling method includes selecting a CPU of relatively less load, when a second thread is generated from a first thread to be processed; determining whether the second thread operates exclusively from the first thread; copying a first storage area assessed by the first thread onto a second storage area managed by the CPU, when the second thread operates exclusively; calculating based on an address of the second storage area and a predetermined value, an offset for a second address for the second thread to access the first storage area; and notifying the CPU of the offset for the second address to convert a first address to a third address for accessing the second storage area.

  • Patent number: 9367326
    Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a master processor, at least one slave processor, and a synchronization unit. The master processor has a first flag indicating whether the master processor is in a task activation accepting state and a second flag reflective of a flag of a slave processor, iteratively updates the first flag at a frequency based on the volume of tasks processed by the master processor, and activates a task on the master processor or the slave processor based on the first flag and the second flag. Each slave processor has a third flag indicating whether the slave processor is in the task activation accepting state and iteratively updates the third flag at a frequency based on the volume of tasks processed by the slave processor. Tasks are allocated to the slave processor by the master processor. The synchronization unit synchronizes the third flag and the second flag.
