Offload server, offload control method and offload program

An offload server that offloads specific processing of application specific processing to a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), the offload server comprising:

• processing load analysis circuitry configured to analyze a request processing load resulting from processing data used by a user with a current offload pattern;
• representative data selection circuitry configured to identify an application whose request processing load is analyzed as high by the processing load analysis circuitry and select representative data from request data at a time of use of the application;
• improvement level calculation circuitry configured to create a new offload pattern based on the representative data selected by the representative data selection circuitry and calculate a performance improvement effect by comparing a processing time and a use frequency of the created new offload pattern with a processing time and a use frequency of the current offload pattern;
• and
• reconfiguration suggestion circuitry configured to suggest a GPU reconfiguration when the performance improvement effect is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold.
