A registration device includes a reader, a specification unit, a determination unit, a setting unit and a call registration unit. The specification unit specifies a plurality of candidate floors on the basis of a two-dimensional barcode. In a case where it is determined by the determination unit that a candidate floor that matches an installation floor is included, the setting unit sets the candidate floor as a departure floor and sets another candidate floor included in the plurality of candidate floors as a destination floor. The call registration unit registers a call for a car on the basis of the departure floor and the destination floor set by the setting unit.

A break detection device includes a sensor, an abnormal variation detection unit (), a storage unit (), an arithmetic unit (), and a break determination unit (). The arithmetic unit () increases a determination score when the abnormal variation detection unit () detects occurrence of an abnormal variation when a car () passes a position stored in the storage unit (). The arithmetic unit () decreases the determination score when the abnormal variation detection unit () does not detect the occurrence of the abnormal variation when the car () passes the position. The break determination unit () determines whether or not a broken portion is present in a rope on the basis of the determination score.

Multiple parallel-job scheduling method and apparatus are provided which can improve the utilization of all processors in a system when a plurality of parallel jobs are executed concurrently. A plurality of processors constituting a computer system and each having the equal function are logically categorized into serial processors for executing a serial computing part or a parallel computing part of a parallel job and a parallel processor group consisting of multiple processors for executing the parallel computing part of the parallel job in parallel. In order that the parallel processors are shared by a plurality of parallel jobs, a synchronization range indicator is provided which can control by program whether the parallel processors are available in correspondence to the respective serial processors. In response to a request for using the parallel processors from a serial processor for which the parallel processors are so set as to be available by means of the synchronization range indicator, operation can be carried out without invoking an interrupt.
