Abstract

An information processing system includes a first storage device, a first information processing device including a first processor, and a second information processing device including a second processor, wherein the first processor is configured to receive a first request requesting data, transmit the first request to a third information processing device, store the data in the first storage device, and notify the second information processing device of information indicating that the data is stored, the second processor is configured to receive a second request requesting the data, and transmit the second request of which the destination is changed to the first information processing device, the first processor is configured to transmit the data stored in the first storage device to the second information processing device, based on the second request, and the second processor is configured to transmit the data as a response to the second request.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing system comprising:
a first storage device;
a first information processing device coupled to the first storage device and including a first memory and a first processor coupled to the first memory; and
a second information processing device including a second memory and a second processor coupled to the second memory,
wherein the first processor is configured to perform:
receiving a first request requesting data,
transmitting the first request to a third information processing device,
receiving the data from the third information processing device,
storing the data in the first storage device, and
notifying the second information processing device of information indicating that the data is stored in the first storage device,

the second processor is configured to perform:
receiving a second request requesting the data from a device,
changing, based on the information, a destination of the second request to the first information processing device, and
transmitting the second request of which the destination is changed to the first information processing device,

the first processor is further configured to perform:
transmitting the data stored in the first storage device to the second information processing device in response to receiving the second request from the second information processing device, and

the second processor is configured to:
transmitting, to the device, the data received from the first information processing device as a response to the second request.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second processor is further configured to perform:
transmitting the second request received from the device to the third information processing device when the notification is not performed by the first information processing device.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first processor is further configured to perform:
determining whether to perform the notification in accordance with a data size of the data.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the first information processing device and the third information processing device are coupled to each other through a gateway,
the second information processing device and the third information processing device are coupled to each other through the gateway,
the first request transmitted from the first processor is transmitted to the third information processing device through the gateway,
the data transmitted from the third information processing device is input to the gateway,
the first processor is further configured to performing:
determining a difference amount between a first time at which the gateway transmits the first request received from the first information processing device to the third information processing device and a second time at which the gateway receives the data from third information processing device,
determining a third time to obtain, by the second processor, the data in a case where the second request is transmitted from the second processor to the third information processing device, based on the difference amount, the data size, a second bandwidth in communication from the gateway to the second information processing device, and the second signal transmission delay in communication between the gateway and the second information processing device, and
determining a second time to transmit the data from the first processor to the second information processing device, and

performing the notification when the second time is shorter than the third time.

5. The information processing system according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a second storage device coupled to the second information processing device,
wherein the second processor is further configured to perform:
storing the data in the second storage device when the data is received from the third information processing device, and
not storing the data in the second storage device when the data is received from the first processor.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the first processor is further configured to perform determining a first time from the transmission of the first request to the reception of the data, and a second time to transmit the data from the first processor to the second information processing device, and
performing the notification when the second time is shorter than the first time.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6 ,
wherein
the second time is determined based on a data size of the data and a first bandwidth in communication from the first information processing device to the second information processing device.

8. The information processing system according to claim 7 ,
wherein
the second time is determined based on a value obtained by dividing the data size of the data by the first bandwidth and a first signal transmission delay in the communication between the first information processing device and the second information processing device.

9. A method of data transmission executed by an information processing system including a first storage device, a first information processing device coupled to the first storage device and a second information processing device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the first information processing device, a first request requesting data;
transmitting, by the first information processing device, the first request to a third information processing device;
receiving, by the first information processing device, the data from the third information processing device;
storing, by the first information processing device, the data in the first storage device;
notifying, by the first information processing device, the second information processing device of information indicating that the data is stored in the first storage device;
receiving, by the second information processing device, a second request requesting the data from a device;
changing, based on the information, by the second information processing device, a destination of the second request to the first information processing device;
transmitting, by the second information processing device, the second request of which the destination is changed to the first information processing device;
transmitting, by the first information processing device, the data stored in the first storage device to the second information processing device in response to receiving the second request from the second information processing device; and
transmitting, by the second information processing device, to the device, the data received from the first information processing device as a response to the second request.

10. The method according to claim 9 further comprising:
receiving, by the second information processing device, a third request requesting other data from the device; and
transmitting, by the second information processing device, the third request to the third information processing device for acquiring the other data from the third information processing device.

11. The method according to claim 9 further comprising:
determining, by the first information processing device, whether performing the notifying of the information in accordance with a data size of the data.

12. The method according to claim 11 ,
wherein the first information processing device and the third information processing device are coupled to each other through a gateway,
the second information processing device and the third information processing device are coupled to each o
