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.
Claims13
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an arithmetic processing unit configured to execute a task retained in a queue;
- and
- a communication controller configured to control communication with another apparatus different than the information processing apparatus,
- the arithmetic processing unit including:
- a management unit including a first processor configured to manage, when an executable task is included in the queue, execution of the task, and
- a standby unit including a second processor configured to execute, when the executable task is not included in the queue, a decision process for deciding, by polling of a reception queue in the communication controller, whether a packet received from the another apparatus is included within the reception queue, repetitively until the executable task is included in the queue.
A method performed by an apparatus, the method comprising:
- causing a management unit included in an arithmetic processing unit to manage, where an executable task is included in a queue, execution of the task;
- and
- causing 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 of a reception queue in a communication controller, whether a packet received from the another apparatus is included within the reception queue, repetitively until the executable task is included in the queue.
A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer included in an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the process comprising:
- causing a management unit included in an arithmetic processing unit to manage, when an executable task is included in a queue, execution of the task;
- and
- causing 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 of a reception queue a communication controller, whether a packet received from the another apparatus is included within the reception queue, repetitively until the executable task is included in the queue.
A method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining, by an arithmetic processing unit, whether a task is included in a queue;
- when the task is included in the queue, managing, by a management unit including a first processor, the execution of the task by the arithmetic processing unit in a normal mode;
- when the task is not included in the queue, executing a polling, by a standby unit including a second processor, of a reception queue of a communication controlling unit that controls communication with another apparatus different than the information processing apparatus, repetitively, to determine whether a packet has been received in the reception queue in a standby mode;
- and
- when the task is included in the queue, switching to the normal mode from the standby mode to execute the tasked included in the queue.
