Multicore processor system for carrying out parallel processing of tasks in a client using processor cores provided in the client

A multicore processor system comprising at least one client and a server, each of the at least one client including a plurality of processor cores therein and carrying out parallel processing of its own tasks submitted on the client using its own plurality of processor cores, the server assisting each of the at least one client to carry out the parallel processing of the tasks via a communication network,

• wherein the server comprises:
• a task information memory for storing task information, the task information containing a minimum number of required cores indicating a number of the plurality of processor cores minimally required to carry out task processing for each of the tasks to be carried out in each of the at least one client and a priority for each of the tasks;
• a core information memory for storing core information, the core information containing operation setup content of the plurality of processor cores of each of the at least one client, the operation setup content containing information on whether each of the plurality of processor cores in each of the at least one client is in a waiting state or an assigned state of any task;
• a task allocation determiner for determining to which of the plurality of processor cores in a corresponding client a predetermined task of the corresponding client's own tasks submitted on the client is to be allocated in accordance with the task information and the core information for the corresponding client, such that the predetermined task is first allocated to processor cores of the corresponding client that are in the waiting state and again allocated to processor cores of the correspond client that are in the assigned state of any task based on the minimum number of required cores and priorities of tasks of the corresponding client;
• a core information updater for updating the core information for the corresponding client in accordance with a determination result for the corresponding client determined by the task allocation determiner;
• and
• a core information transmitter for transmitting the core information for the corresponding client updated by the core information updater to the corresponding client after the core information updater updates the core information for the corresponding client, and
• wherein each of the at least one client comprises:
• a core information receiver for receiving the core information for the corresponding client transmitted by the core information transmitter of the server;
• and
• a parallel processing executor for carrying out the parallel processing of the tasks using the plurality of processor cores of the corresponding client in accordance with the core information for the corresponding client received by the core information receiver.
