<Embodiment 1>
The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining the configuration of the information processing system. 3 to 6 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the information processing system.

[Constitution]
As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system according to the present embodiment is configured by connecting a higher-level device 1 and a plurality of collation devices 2. Then, in such an information processing system, the higher-level device 1 requests the matching device 2 to perform the matching process, and the matching device 2 that receives the request executes the matching process and returns the matching result to the higher-level device 1. It is a thing.

The collation device 2 (collation processing device) is composed of an information processing device including an arithmetic unit and a storage device, is equipped in a plurality of information processing devices, and is connected to a higher-level device 1 via a network. .. Here, the network is, for example, Fiber Channel, but may be any network. Although the two collating devices 2 (a) and (b) are shown in FIG. 1, more collating devices may be connected to the host device 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the collation device 2 is equipped with a plurality of collation units 22 (verification processing units) composed of a collation processing processor that executes collation processing. Each collation unit 22 is configured to execute the collation process by executing the program by the collation process processor. Specifically, each collation unit 22 receives each collation process requested from the host device 1 via the control unit 21 as described later, executes each collation process, and outputs the result via the control unit 21. And return it to the host device 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the collation device 2 includes a control unit 21 constructed by the arithmetic unit executing a program. The control unit 21 manages the load status of each collation unit 22 and notifies the host device 1 of the load status in response to a request from the host device 1 or spontaneously at an arbitrary timing. Specifically, the control unit 21 determines the load status of each collation unit 22 from the number of free data buffers (for example, maximum 4) that each collation unit 22 has in the memory, and stores it in the storage device as a load status table 23. do. For example, the control unit 21 determines that the larger the number of free data buffers, the lower the load, and the higher the load, the higher the load status. However, the control unit 21 may determine and represent the load status of each collation unit 22 by any method. Then, the control unit 21 transmits the stored load status table 23 to the higher-level device 1 in response to a request from the higher-level device 1 or at an arbitrary timing.

Further, the control unit 21 controls the collation process of each collation unit 22. Specifically, the control unit 21 receives the collation process assigned from the host device 1 and causes the collation unit 22 designated by the host device 1 to execute the collation process. Then, the control unit 21 acquires the processing result of the collation processing from the collation unit 22, and returns the processing result information to the higher-level device 1. At this time, the control unit 21 calculates the load applied to the collation process from the processing result of the collation unit 22, and also includes the load information representing the load of the collation process in the processing result information and notifies the host device 1. When the control unit 21 has not received the designation of the collation unit 22 for executing the collation process from the higher-level device 1, the control unit 21 refers to the load status table 23 and causes the collation unit 22 having the lowest load to execute the collation process. .. However, the control unit 21 may select the collation unit 22 to execute the collation process based on any standard.

The host device 1 (information processing device) is composed of one or a plurality of information processing devices provided with an arithmetic device and a storage device. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the host device 1 includes a collation device information acquisition unit 11, a load data acquisition unit 12, and a collation request unit 13, which are constructed by the arithmetic unit executing a program. Further, the host device 1 includes a collation device information storage unit 14 and a load information storage unit 15 formed in the storage device.

The collation device information acquisition unit 11 (device load information acquisition means) requests the load status table 23 from all the connected collation devices 2 when it becomes necessary to perform the collation process. Then, the collating device information acquisition unit 11 acquires the load status table 23 from all the collating devices 2, and stores the acquired load status table 23 in the collating device information storage unit 14. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the collating device information storage unit 14 stores the load status table 23 of each collating device 2. In the example of FIG. 2, the load status of each collation unit (No. 1 to n) of the collation device 2 (a) is numerically shown in the column of the collation device 2 (a), and the collation device 2 (b) is shown. In the column of, the load status of each collation unit (No. 1 to n) of the collation device 2 (b) is shown numerically. The collating device information acquisition unit 11 may request the collating device 2 to acquire the load status table 23 at an arbitrary timing, and may acquire the load status table 23 spontaneously transmitted from the collating device 2. May be good.

The load data acquisition unit 12 (load information acquisition means) acquires load data (processing load information) representing the load of the collation processing when it becomes necessary to perform the collation processing. Here, since the collation processing can be classified by the algorithm, the processing content (processing pattern) is fixed to some extent. Then, since the load for each classification of the collation processing can be known from the execution time of the past collation processing and the like, the load information for each classification of the collation processing is stored in the load information storage unit 15. By referring to such load information, it is possible to acquire load data representing the load of the collation process to be executed from now on. The load data acquisition unit 12 stores the load information included in the processing result information of the collation process returned from the collation device 2 in the load information storage unit 15 together with the classification of the collation process. As a result, the classification of the collation process in which the load data acquisition unit 12 can acquire the load data is increased.

When it becomes necessary to perform collation processing, the collation request unit 13 (collation processing request means) stores the load data of the collation processing acquired by the load data acquisition unit 12 as described above and the collation device information storage. Based on the load status table 23 stored in the unit 14, the collation device 2 that requests the collation process is determined. Specifically, when the collation request unit 13 adds the value of the load data of the requested collation process to the collation unit 22 of any of the collation devices 2 based on the load status table 23, the collation request unit 13 is between all the collation devices 2. Determines the collation device 2 that requires the collation process so that the load is leveled in. That is, the collation request unit 13 requests the collation device 2 so that when the load of the collation process is added to any of the collation devices 2, the difference between the loads of all the collation devices 2 is minimized. decide. Further, in addition to the above, or independently, the collation request unit 13 determines the collation device 2 having the collation unit 22 having the lowest load as the collation device 2 requesting the collation process based on the load status table 23. You may.

The collation request unit 13 may determine the collation device 2 that requests the collation process by combining the above-mentioned methods or by using any of the methods alone, and further, using another method. The collation device may be determined. Further, the collation request unit 13 may also determine the collation unit 22 that requests the collation process in the collation device 2 determined as described above. In this case, the collation unit 22 having the lowest load in the determined collation device 2 may be determined as the request destination, or the request destination collation unit 22 may be determined by another method.

[motion]
Next, the operation of the above-mentioned information processing system will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. First, the host device 1 receives a processing request for a certain collation process (step S1 in FIG. 6). Here, it is assumed that a request for collation processing such as collation processing A is accepted. The host device 1 sucks up the load status table 23 from all the collation devices 2 connected to itself (arrows Ta and Tb in FIG. 3 and step S2 in FIG. 6). For example, by acquiring the load status table 23 as shown in FIG. 2, the host device 1 can see that the connected collation device 2 has the load status as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the host device 1 examines the load data, which is the load value of the received processing request, with reference to the load information stored in the load information storage unit 15. Here, it is assumed that the load of the collation process A is "2". Then, when the higher-level device 1 knows the value of the load of the collation process (Yes in step S3 of FIG. 6), the host device 1 requests the collation device 2 to request the collation process based on the load data of the collation process and the load status table. Determine (step S4 in FIG. 6). At this time, the host device 1 determines the collating device 2 so that the load can be leveled in all the collating devices 2. In the example of FIG. 4, a collation device is connected in addition to the one shown in the drawing, but it is determined that the load can be leveled in the entire collation device 2 by requesting the collation process A from the collation device 2 (a). The collation device 2 (a) is determined. At this time, among the collation units 22 of the collation device 2 (a), the collation unit 22 having the lowest load may be determined as the request destination, or only the collation device 2 (a) may be determined as the request destination. good.

The host device 1 may determine the collation device 2 (a) having the lowest load collation unit 22 among all the collation devices 2 as the request destination. Further, the host device 1 may determine the collation device 2 (a), which minimizes the total value of the loads, as the request destination among all the collation devices 2. However, the method of determining the request destination by the host device 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned method.

Then, the host device 1 requests the collation process A from the collation device 2 (a) determined as described above (step S5 in FIG. 6). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the collation device 2 (a) executes the collation process A in the first collation unit 22. At this time, since the collation device 2 (a) changes the load status as shown in FIG. 4 by executing the collation process A, the collation device 2 (a) updates the load status table 23 in the collation device 2 (a).

Subsequently, as described above, it is assumed that the higher-level device 1 accepts another collation process B while the collation device 2 (a) is executing the collation process A (step S1 in FIG. 6). Then, similarly to the above, the host device 1 sucks up the load status table 23 from all the collation devices 2 (step S2 in FIG. 6), examines the received load data of the collation process B, and the load of the collation process B becomes ". 2 ”(Yes in step S3 of FIG. 6). Then, the higher-level device 1 determines the collation device 2 that requests the collation process so that the load can be leveled in all the collation devices 2 based on the load data of the collation process B and the load status table (FIG. 6). Step S4). In this example, it is assumed that the request destination of the collation process B is determined by the second collation unit 22 of the collation device 2 (a).

Then, the host device 1 requests the collation process B from the collation device 2 (a) determined as described above (step S5 in FIG. 6). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the collation device 2 (a) executes the collation process B in the second collation unit 22.

As described above, in the situation where the two collation processes A and B are required, as shown in FIG. 4, the load of each collation unit 22 of the collation device 2 (a) is "3, 3, ... , 3 ”, and the load of each collation unit 22 of the collation device 2 (b) is“ 2, 3, ..., 3 ”, respectively. As a result, the maximum load of each collation unit 22 becomes the same value between the collation device 2 (a) and the collation device 2 (b), and the total value of the loads of the collation device 2 (a) and the collation device 2 (a). The difference between the total value of the loads in 2 (b) and the total value of the loads in 2 (b) is minimized as compared with the comparative example described later, and the loads applied to each collation device 2 are leveled. Then, it is possible to suppress the concentration of the load on the specific collation device 2 and the specific collation unit 22, and it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the specific collation device 2. As a result, it is possible to reduce the power consumption required for cooling in the collation device unit, the rack unit in which the collation device is mounted, and the machine room unit in which the collation device is housed.

Here, a comparative example with the above-mentioned information processing system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, the higher-level device 1 requests the collation processes A and B based on the preset priorities without referring to the load status table 23 and the load values of the collation processes A and B. It is decided to decide. In addition, each collation device 2 manages the load of each equipped collation unit 22 in the load status table 23, and operates so as to allocate the requested collation process to the collation unit 22 having the lowest load.

Then, in the example of FIG. 5, the collation process A having a load of "2" is requested to the collation device 2 (a) and processed by the first collation unit 22. Further, the collation process B having a load of "2" is requested to the collation device 2 (b) according to a preset rule, and is processed by the first collation unit 22. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the load of the first collation unit 22 of the collation device 2 (a) becomes “3”, and the load of the first collation unit 22 of the collation device 2 (b) becomes “4”. ".

As a result, the load on the collation unit 22 of the collation device 2 (b) is higher than that shown in FIG. 4 in the present invention, and the load on the collation device 2 (b) as a whole is also higher. Therefore, as compared with the case of the present invention, the load is concentrated on the specific collation device 2 and the specific collation unit 22, the temperature of the specific collation device 2 rises, and the power consumption required for cooling increases. You can see that.

As described above, in the information processing system of the present invention, by adopting the above-described configuration, the temperature rise due to the load being biased to some of the collation units 22 and the collation device 2 is suppressed, and the power consumption required for cooling is reduced. It can be reduced.

Here, in the present invention, the case where the load information of the classification of the collation process A is not stored in the load information storage unit 15 and the load of the collation process A is unknown will be described. In this case, the higher-level device 1 refers to the load status table 23, determines the collation device 2 having the collation unit 22 having the lowest load as the request destination, and requests the collation process. At this time, the host device 1 notifies the control unit 21 to that effect and requests the collation process A, so that the control unit 21 applies the load of the collation process A that can be calculated after the collation process A is executed to the host device 1. Send to. As a result, the host device 1 can accumulate load information representing the load of the collation process A (step S6 in FIG. 6), and can be used when acquiring the load of the subsequent collation process.
