Abstract: Each of plurality of nodes connected to each other via a network includes a local instance processor and a user application processor. The local instance processor executes a data sharing method for accessing shared data. The data sharing method includes: storing a value of first shared data with a function identifier of an update function upon receiving a registration request, wherein the update function is commutative and idempotent; updating the stored value of the first shared data to a first update value in accordance with an execution result of the update function upon receiving an update request; returning a completion message upon updating the stored value of the first shared data stored in the first node; and transmitting a first reflection request to a second node upon updating the stored value of the first shared data stored in the first node.

Abstract: A relay apparatus includes: a tag information acquisition section that acquires tag information attached to the network-connected device; a management section that manages the tag information read out by the tag information acquisition section and an IP address assigned by the management apparatus, and an identification information assigned to the relay apparatus itself in association with one another; and a processing section that receives information that the management apparatus has transmitted with the tag information or IP address as a transmission destination and receives information transmitted from the network-connected device for execution of predetermined processing.

Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method for controlling a processing device for distributing jobs among a plurality of job processing devices for executing said jobs, respectively, said job including a plurality of job files, the method comprises: determining said job processing devices for executing said job files, respectively; generating an execution file to be executed by first job processing device after first job file is executed by said first job processing device, said execution file when executed having said first job processing devise requests second job processing device to execute second job file, said second job file being executed by said second job processing device subsequently to said second job file executed by said first job processing device; and transferring said first job file and said execution file to said first job processing device.

Abstract: The communication I/F unit according to the present invention includes a chain executing unit that executes all the chain SWRs. The SWR-chain storage unit stores therein a chain of SWRs. The chain executing unit sequentially reads the SWRs and executes the corresponding operations of an atomic operation so that the corresponding packets are sent outside.

Abstract: A first storing unit stores therein a chain indivisibility instruction. A detecting unit detects a change of first data that is distributed in a node computer. A first designating unit designates, when the detecting unit detects the change in the first data, an indivisibility instruction corresponding to the first data from which the change is detected, by referring to the first storing unit. A first executing unit executes the indivisibility instruction designated by the first designating unit.

Abstract: A node computer includes a communication I/F unit that performs the synchronization process of the packet related to the synchronization process that is conventionally performed by a processor. An interrupt generated every time a packet including the message related to the synchronization process is received can be reduced to one interrupt.

Abstract: An artificial satellite is equipped with solar batteries and a non-aqueous electrolyte battery module for artificial satellite (i.e., a lithium battery). The non-aqueous electrolyte battery module is provided with a non-aqueous electrolyte battery, a temperature sensor, a charged state measurement sensor, and a computer for receiving signals output from the sensors. The managed temperature of the non-aqueous electrolyte battery in a solstice season is set so as to become equal to or lower than the managed temperature of the battery when the satellite is in the solstice season. The computer controls a temperature controller, thereby maintain the managed temperature of the battery within a given temperature range. The charged state of the lithium battery is controlled by means of turning on or off a charging switch under the control of computer. When the satellite is in the eclipse season, the managed charged state of the non-electrolyte battery is controlled so as to be a value of 50% or more.

Abstract: A method for message communications between multiple processor elements in a parallel computer according to this invention comprises the steps of: directly writing a message body containing message information of a message from a transmitting processor element into a shared memory area in a memory of a receiving processor element by a remote writing unit; transmitting a header containing identifier information and pointer information for the message from the transmitting processor element to a message receiving unit of the receiving processor element; and writing the header into a local memory area in the memory in the order of arrival of the headers by the message receiving unit of the receiving processor element.
