Abstract
In an information processing apparatus which executes first and second threads which executes methods, the first thread transmits a stop instruction for terminating execution of the second thread to the second thread. In response to the reception of the stop instruction, the second thread terminates execution of a first method in execution and initiates execution of the second method which should be executed subsequent to the first method.
Claims11
A process for executing methods in an information processing apparatus which executes first and second threads which executes the methods, the process comprising:
- transmitting by the first thread to the second thread a stop instruction for terminating execution of the second thread;
- and
- in response to the reception of the stop instruction, terminating by the second thread execution of a first method in execution and initiating execution of a second method that is to be executed subsequent to the first method.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a CPU;
- a memory;
- a thread execution unit executing first and second threads which executes methods;
- a stop instruction transmission unit forcing the first thread to transmit a stop instruction for terminating execution of the second thread to the second thread;
- and
- a method execution unit, in response to the reception of the stop instruction, forcing-the second thread to terminate execution of a first method in execution and to initiate execution of the second method that is to be executed subsequent to the first method.
A program operable to cause a computer which executes first and second threads which executes methods to execute the steps of:
- transmitting by the first thread a stop instruction for terminating execution of the second thread to the second thread;
- and
- in response to the reception of the stop instruction terminating by the second thread execution of a first method in execution and initiating execution of a second method that is to be executed subsequent to the first method.
A process for a program in an information processing apparatus executing first and second threads which executes programs, the process comprising:
- transmitting by the first thread a stop instruction for terminating execution of the second thread to the second thread;
- and
- in response to the reception of the execution termination instruction, terminating by the second thread execution of a first program in execution and initiating execution of a second program that is to be executed subsequent to the first program.
