Complex information platform apparatus and communication band ensuring method of the same

A complex information platform apparatus including a plurality of processing modules, a switch for communication switching between processing modules, an adapter for connecting the processing modules with the switch, and a management module for managing these so that one or more processing units include one or more of the processing modules as constituent elements,

• wherein the switch routes a request based on routing information of a header contained in the request;
• wherein the management module includes:
• an apparatus configuration management table for maintaining correspondence between an apparatus type and an available processing module for each processing unit;
• an apparatus template management table for maintaining correspondence among an apparatus type, an ensured band, and a priority;
• a QoS setting management table for maintaining correspondence among a communication type uniquely determined from the apparatus configuration management table, an ensured band, and a priority;
• system configuration setting means for creating the apparatus configuration management table and the apparatus template management table;
• QoS table initialization means for creating the QoS setting management table;
• setting verification means for verifying a setting of the QoS setting management table;
• and
• QoS table distribution means for distributing part of the QoS setting management table to a switch and an adapter;
• wherein the adapter includes:
• a communication type management table for maintaining part of the QoS setting management table;
• header generation means for appending routing information to a header of a request from a corresponding processing module;
• and
• header deletion means for deleting a header of a request from the switch;
• and
• wherein the switch includes:
• a band and priority management table for maintaining correspondence among a communication type, band and priority information, and an available band as a monitoring result;
• communication type specification means for specifying a communication type of the request;
• available band monitoring means for monitoring an available band of a switch for each communication type and recording the available band in the band and priority management table;
• and
• QoS control means for obtaining a current available band from the band and priority management table to ensure a band and control a priority.
