Image processing system, control apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

A control apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to control distributed processing in which a plurality of image processors including a first image processor and a second image processor distributively perform a plurality of pieces of image processing for performing printing by a printing apparatus, wherein
• the processor
• acquires a number of assignments, which is a unit number of pieces of image processing assigned to each of the image processors, from a plurality of apparatuses including the image processors,
• determines, based on the number of assignments, a combination of a plurality of the image processors in charge of the distributed processing,
• controls the determined image processors to execute the distributed processing,
• when the combination of the image processor is selected, the processor transmits control information on the distributed processing to the first image processor that performs the image processing first among the selected image processors,
• when the first image processor completes the image processing, the second image processor that performs the image processing second among the selected image processors starts the image processing based on the control information, and
• when the selected image processors complete the image processing, a printing apparatus acquires a print data processed by the first image processor and the second image processor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executed by a computer of a control apparatus that controls distributed processing in which a plurality of image processors including a first image processor and a second image processor distributively perform a plurality of pieces of image processing for performing printing by a printing apparatus, the program causing the computer to:

• acquire a number of assignments, which is a unit number of pieces of image processing assigned to each of the image processing units, from a plurality of apparatuses including the image processing units;
• determine, based on the number of assignments, a combination of a plurality of the image processing units in charge of the distributed processing;
• and
• control the determined image processing units to execute the distributed processing, wherein
• when the combination of the image processor is selected, the processor transmits control information on the distributed processing to the first image processor that performs the image processing first among the selected image processors,
• when the first image processor completes the image processing, the second image processor that performs the image processing second among the selected image processors starts the image processing based on the control information, and
• when the selected image processors complete the image processing, a printing apparatus acquires a print data processed by the first image processor and the second image processor.
