Abstract

In a micro processor unit, when processing to be requested to another processor unit which connects via a network, occurs during task processing in a task processing unit in an application SPU, a communication controller in a PU specifies a network with which a processor unit, which is a request destination, connects. An interface selector in the application SPU selects one network included in the specified networks, with the view of communication capability or the like, and writes that information in a look-aside buffer. In case that processing for the same processing target is requested next time and after that, a system SPU or the PU transmits the processing request depending on required communication capability.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a shared memory;
a processor unit, including:
a plurality of processing units operative to process, in parallel, a plurality of respective tasks, which originate from a program stored in the shared memory; and
a management processing unit operative to manage the plurality of processing units,

wherein the management processing unit comprises:
a request processing unit operative to perform processing re…
