Computer-readable recording medium having stored therein relay program, relay method, and information processing apparatus

A relay method comprising a relay process executed by a computer, the relay process comprising:

• obtaining, from an application, an initialization request for initializing a first resource being a hardware resource used by the application;
• transmitting, based on the initialization request, to a management system that manages a plurality of the hardware resources, an allocation request for allocating the first resource to a first computer on which the application is executed;
• causing the application to start pre-processing being performed before a calculation process to be executed by the first resource;
• transmitting the initialization request to the first resource in response to receiving an allocation completion response to the allocation request from the management system, the allocation completion response indicating that the first resource is allocated to the first computer from among the plurality of hardware resources;
• and
• transmitting, in response to obtaining a calculation request of the calculation process from the application after the pre-processing is completed, the calculation request to the first resource.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to execute a relay process comprising
• obtaining, from an application, an initialization request for initializing a first resource that is a hardware resource used by the application,
• transmitting, based on the initialization request, to a management system that manages a plurality of the hardware resources, an allocation request for allocating the first resource to a first information processing apparatus on which the application is executed,
• causing the application to start pre-processing being performed before a calculation process to be executed by the first resource,
• transmitting the initialization request to the first resource in response to receiving an allocation completion response to the allocation request from the management system, the allocation completion response indicating that the first resource is allocated to the first information processing apparatus from among the plurality of hardware resources, and
• transmitting, in response to obtaining a calculation request of the calculation process from the application after the pre-processing is completed, the calculation request to the first resource.
