  • Publication number: 20240241765
    Abstract: In prediction processing, the controller predicts a temporal change in a calculation capability available in grid computing processing of each of a plurality of arithmetic devices. In the request processing, in a case where the calculation capability of the arithmetic device predicted to be available in the grid computing processing on the basis of a result of the prediction processing is insufficient, the controller presents, to a user who owns another arithmetic device except for the arithmetic device predicted to be available in the grid computing processing among the plurality of arithmetic devices, request information for prompting provision of the calculation capability of the another arithmetic device to the grid computing processing.

  • Patent number: 8326496
    Abstract: A motion control device of a vehicle comprises: a steering angle controller which controls a steering angle of a steered wheel so that an actual turning controlling variable becomes a target turning controlling variable; and a braking force controller which controls a vehicle braking force so that the actual turning controlling variable becomes the target turning controlling variable. The control of the steering angle controller is stopped by detecting a timing with which the braking force controller detects an oversteering state of the vehicle to start a braking force control.
