  • Patent number: 11960939
    Abstract: A management computer manages a data processing infrastructure including a server that executes a job and a storage device that is coupled to the server via a network and stores data used for processing in accordance with the job. The management computer includes a disc and a CPU. The disc stores maximum resource amount information, path information, and load information. The CPU computes a free resource amount of components forming a path to data related to execution of a predetermined job, based on the maximum resource amount information, the path information, and the load information and determines a parallelizable number in a parallel executable processing unit when the predetermined job is executing in the server, based on the free resource amount.
