Control device and distributed processing method

A distributed processing method for requesting execution of information processing in a control device including a first information processor and a second information processor including a processor to perform information processing through a general-purpose operating system, the method comprising:

• measuring, by the second information processor, an operating state of the processor through a real-time operating system;
• and
• by the first information processor, determining, based on the operating state of the processor, whether to request the second information processor to perform the information processing, and transmitting, when determining to request the second information processor to perform the information processing, a signal requesting the information processing to the second information processor.

A distributed processing method for distributing and executing information processing in a control device including a master information processor and a plurality of slave information processors each including a processor to perform information processing through a general-purpose operating system, the method comprising:

• measuring, by each of the plurality of slave information processors, an operating state of the processor through a real-time operating system;
• and
• by the master information processor, selecting, based on the operating state of the processor, one or more slave information processors for requesting the information processing from the plurality of slave information processors, and transmitting a signal requesting the information processing to the selected one or more slave information processors.
