Abstract: A fuel cell module includes a stack including a plurality of fuel cells stacked together, at least one dummy cell in contact with the stack at an end portion of the stack in a stacking direction, a reactant gas supply path configured to supply a reactant gas that is either a fuel gas or an oxidant gas to the fuel cells and the dummy cell, and a reactant gas discharge path in communication with the fuel cells and the dummy cell. The fuel cells and the dummy cell each include a reactant gas flow path configured to cause the reactant gas from the reactant gas supply path to flow toward the reactant gas discharge path. Pressure loss of the reactant gas flow path of the dummy cell is smaller than pressure loss of the reactant gas flow path of the fuel cells.

Abstract: An apparatus causes a management unit included in an arithmetic processing unit to manage, where an executable task is included in a queue, execution of the task. The apparatus causes a standby unit included in the arithmetic processing unit to execute, when the executable task is not included in the queue, a decision process for deciding, by polling, whether information from another apparatus different from the apparatus is received by a communication controller until the executable task is included in the queue.
