Abstract
A distributed controller is connected to two or more processing elements and controls the two or more processing elements to execute distributed processing. The distributed controller comprises a plurality of control modules, each of which is connected to at least one other control module. The distributed controller determines a processing path between processing elements using at least two of the plurality of control modules.
Claims18
A distributed controller that is connected to two or more processing elements, controls the two or more processing elements to execute distributed processing, and comprises a plurality of control modules, wherein each of the control modules is connected to at least one other control module, and a processing path between the processing elements is determined by using at least two of the plurality of control modules.
A distributed processing system comprising:
- two or more processing elements;
- and
- a distributed controller that is connected to the two or more processing elements and controls the two or more processing elements to execute distributed processing,
- wherein the distributed controller comprises a plurality of control modules,
- each of the control modules is connected to at least one other control module, and
- a processing path between the processing elements is determined using at least two of the plurality of control modules.
A distributed processing method for a distributed processing system including two or more processing elements and a distributed controller connected to the two or more processing elements, the distributed controller including a plurality of control modules, each of the control module being connected to at least one other control module, the method comprising:
- determining a processing path between the processing elements using at least two of the plurality of control modules;
- and
- executing distributed processing by the processing elements in the processing path under control of the distributed controller.
