Methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business by improving the scheduling of execution of jobs for or by network-connected devices, thereby enabling the job execution process to scale more easily, efficiently, and effectively to support large numbers of devices and/or users. Examples of jobs include, but are not limited to, distribution of resources (including software, configuration information, images, and other types of content) to a device, fetching a device's inventory information, backing up a device's contents, and so forth. Jobs are programmatically scheduled based upon a specified time internal, according to a class of the requester. Only if an earliest start time after which the job may be executed for this requester has been reached will the job be executed; otherwise, the job execution is delayed. The disclosed techniques lessen the need for additional servers to handle spikes in processing load, reduce the likelihood of reaching system overload, and reduce the likelihood of cascading failures that may occur when systems are overloaded.

A distributed processing system includes plural nodes each provided with a processor and communicably connected to each other. A task information obtaining unit obtains antecedent dependency between tasks. A node information obtaining unit obtains a time constraint imposed on the tasks. A start time computing unit computes an absolute earliest start time at which a task can be started and an absolute latest start time allowed in order to complete the task within the time constraint, by referring to the time constraint. A node selector selects a destination node to which a target task not yet allocated to a node should be allocated, by referring to the absolute earliest start time and the absolute latest start time. A task placement unit causes the task to be executed in the selected node.

The technique of the invention sets a control start revolution speed Nstart to decrease with an increase in driver's power demand P* and with an increase in vehicle speed V (step S130), and motors an engine (steps S150 to S190). When a revolution speed Ne of the engine reaches the setting of the control start revolution speed Nstart, operation control of the engine starts (step S220). Such settings are ascribed to the following reasons. Setting a relatively small value to the control start revolution speed Nstart is preferable to trigger an early start of operation control of the engine and ensure quick output of power from the engine. In order to ensure reduction of vibrations of initial explosion and resulting reduction of potential vibrations arising at the time of starting the engine, on the other hand, setting a relatively large value to the control start revolution speed Nstart is preferable. The driver's sensitivity to the vibrations is lowered with an increase in vehicle speed V.

In a hybrid vehicle of the invention, in the event of specification that an exhaust treatment catalyst is in a preset adequate state at step S112, combustion control of an engine starts after a decrease of an intake pipe pressure P to a preset reference negative pressure Pref and reduction of an intake air flow into a cylinder of the engine by engine motoring. In the event of specification that the exhaust treatment catalyst is not in the preset adequate state but in an inadequate state at step S112, on the other hand, the combustion control of the engine immediately starts, prior to the decrease of the intake pipe pressure P to the preset reference negative pressure Pref. The hybrid vehicle of the invention allows an early start of the combustion control in a lower catalyst temperature condition that lowers the catalytic conversion power of the exhaust treatment catalyst and in a higher catalyst temperature condition that causes accelerated deterioration of the exhaust treatment catalyst in exposure to the air. The early start of the combustion control effectively reduces the potential shocks on a start of the engine, while preventing the potential troubles, for example, the worsened emission and the accelerated deterioration of the exhaust treatment catalyst, arising in the course of engine motoring due to the inadequate state of the exhaust treatment catalyst.
