Resource allocation device, resource allocation method, and program

Abstract

A resource allocation device according to the present invention has an acquisition unit and a resource allocation unit. The acquisition unit acquires resource load information that indicates a load for each of a plurality of resources that are distributed across a plurality of locations and communication load information that indicates a load for communication at each of the plurality of locations. The resource allocation unit determines resources to allocate to tasks from among the plurality of resources on the basis of the resource load information and the communication load information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Claims

1. A resource allocation device comprising: an acquisition unit that acquires resource load information indicating the load of each of several resources distributed across multiple locations, and communication load information indicating the communication load at each of the multiple locations; and a resource allocation unit that determines which of the multiple resources to allocate to each task based on the resource load information and communication load information acquired by the acquisition unit.

2. The resource allocation device according to claim 1, wherein the resource allocation unit determines which resources to allocate to newly created tasks and which resources to reallocate to tasks to which resources have already been allocated.

3. The resource allocation device according to claim 2, wherein when the resource load information and the communication load information are updated, the resource allocation unit determines again which of the plurality of resources to reallocate to a task to which resources have already been allocated.

4. The resource allocation device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the resource allocation unit determines the resources to be allocated to the task requested by the user based on the resource load information, the communication load information, and the user's priority.

5. The resource allocation device according to claim 4, wherein the priority is determined based on at least one of the job title or position of the user who requested the task.

6. A resource allocation method comprising: an acquisition step of acquiring resource load information indicating the load of each of several resources distributed across several locations, and communication load information indicating the communication load at each of the several locations; and a resource allocation step of determining which of the several resources to allocate to each task based on the resource load information and communication load information acquired in the acquisition step.

7. A program for causing a computer to function as a resource allocation device as described in claim 1.
