  • Patent number: 9348629
    Abstract: A scheduling apparatus according to an example embodiment includes a controller. The controller determines whether a resource of a second processor in a second terminal device can execute a group including at least one virtual machine in a first terminal in addition to virtual machines in the second terminal device by each combination of a cycle and an executing period per cycle. The controller specifies a cycle and an executing period of which a ratio of the executing period to the cycle is the smallest from among pairs of a cycle and an executing period for which the controller determines that the group can be executed, and assigns the specified cycle and the specified executing period to the group including the at least one of the one or more virtual machines in the first terminal in addition to the one or more virtual machines in the second terminal device.

  • Patent number: 8976818
    Abstract: A communication device transmits a first packet to a first device via a network device, and receives a second packet from the first device. A transmission time between the communication device and the first device is calculated using time indicated by the communication device when the communication device transmitted the first packet, time indicated by the first device when the first device received the first packet, time indicated by the first device when the first device transmitted the second packet, time indicated by the communication device when the communication device received the second packet. A size of the first packet is set so that wait time of the first packet at the network device is within predetermined period. The wait time is calculated by assuming that a third packet transmitted from a second device is inputted to the network device before the first packet is inputted to the network device.
