Software processing method and software processing system

A software processing method comprising:

• a monitoring step for status of use, which monitors the status of use of a second processor, the second processor performing processing in response to a processing request by a first processor;
• an identifying step, in which a compiler identifies a process containing command to use the second processor;
• a mapping step, in which the compiler maps a first processor-use library formed process providing the processing request of the first processor to the second processor into a first memory bank and a second processor-use library formed process executed by the first processor into a second memory bank;
• and
• an altering step for software processes, which alters software processing processes executed by the first processor or the second processor in response to contention information, the contention information being obtained in the monitoring step for status of use, wherein
• the first processor can access a plurality of memory banks of a memory only for the first processor by using a same address, and the plurality of memory banks includes the first memory bank and the second memory bank;
• and
• the contention information is a signal indicating a switch from the first memory bank to the second memory bank.

A software processing method comprising:

• a monitoring step, which monitors a status of use of a resource identified as used by a process for a processor;
• a process identifying step, in which a compiler inserts a command that identifies a process using a resource into an input program;
• a storing step for storing contention information obtained in the monitoring step at a current time;
• a determining step, in which the compiler inserts into the input program a command that determines a status of use of the identified resource based upon contention information stored at a past time;
• and
• a substituting step, in which the compiler inserts a command that substitutes an equivalent process for the process identified by the command inserted in the process identifying step, based upon results of the command inserted into the input program in the determining step;
• wherein
• the equivalent process is equivalent to the process identified by the command inserted in the process identifying step, and makes reduced use of the resource.

A software processing system comprising:

• a first processor;
• a second processor for performing processing in response to a processing request by the first processor;
• a use status monitoring device for monitoring a use status of the second processor;
• a plurality of memory banks of a memory for the first processor that are accessible by only the first processor by using a same address, the plurality of memory banks including a first memory bank and a second memory bank;
• a compiler for identifying a process containing command to use the second processor and mapping a first processor-use library formed process providing the processing request of the first processor to the second processor into the first memory bank and a second processor-use library formed process executed by the first processor into the second memory bank;
• and
• a bank switching device for altering software processing processes performed by the first processor or the second processor in response to contention information, the contention information being obtained by the use status monitoring device, wherein
• the contention information is a signal indicating a switch from the first memory bank to the second memory bank.
