A plant monitoring apparatusincludes: an extraction unitthat extracts a feature amount in a frequency response of vibration of a target plant with use of the vibration; a calculation unitthat calculates a change that indicates growth of the plant, based on the extracted feature amount and a reference feature amount that corresponds to a reference state of the plant; and an estimation unitthat estimates a state of the plant by, with use of the calculated change, referencing state information in which changes of the feature amount from the reference feature amount corresponding to growth of the plant are associated with states of the plant.

A vegetation index calculation apparatus () is provided with a learning model generation unit () that generates a learning model, by using an image of a crop targeted for calculation of a vegetation index and an image of plants other than the crop to learn a feature amount of the image of the crop, an image acquisition unit () that acquires an aerial image of a target region where the crop is being grown, a specification unit () that applies the aerial image acquired by the image acquisition unit () to the learning model generated by the learning model generation unit (), and specifies the image of the crop in the aerial image acquired by the image acquisition unit (), and a vegetation index calculation unit () that calculates the vegetation index of the crop, using the image of the crop specified by the specification unit ().

Vegetation index calculation apparatus, vegetation index calculation method, and computer readable recording medium

A vegetation index calculation apparatus () is provided with a specification unit () that collates height distribution data indicating a distribution of the height of plants that exist in a target region with predicted height data of a crop targeted for calculation of a vegetation index, and specifies a region where the crop exists within the target region, and a vegetation index calculation unit () that calculates the vegetation index of the crop that exists in the region specified by the specification unit ().

Provided are a soil estimation device, a soil estimation method and a program that are capable of improving the accuracy of estimation of a state in soil without increasing the number of sensors that detect the state in the soil. The soil estimation deviceis provided with an estimated model generation unit. The estimated model generation unitgenerates an estimated model based on at least one among geographical information that specifies a geographical feature of a field of interest and soil distribution information that specifies a soil distribution in the field. The estimated model is a model for estimating, from a measured value that indicates the state in the soil at one location within the field, the state in the soil at a location other than the one location.

An information processing device includes: a measurement unitfor measuring respective use rates of a plurality of coprocessors each for executing a job, respective use rates of a plurality of interface cards each for passing data input or output by each of the plurality of coprocessors, and respective latencies and respective throughputs in communication between the plurality of coprocessors and the plurality of interface cards; and a determination unitfor determining a coprocessor that is to execute the job from among the plurality of coprocessors, based on a result of the measurement by the measurement unit

Information processing device, job scheduling method, and job scheduling program

A power distribution system is adapted to a management module connected to a plurality of servers, each of which is varied in power consumption in response to a power mode and performance thereof, via a power allocation request line and a power allocation response line. The management module records the upper-limit power setting, the power allocations, and the power pool with regard to the servers. The server records the power mode, the power allocation, the upper mode request threshold, and the redundant power which is calculated based on the difference between the power allocation and the actual power consumption. The management module recovers the redundant power from the server so as to update the power pool. Upon receiving a power allocation request, the management module distributes at least a part of the power pool to the server, thus allowing the server to shift the power mode to the upper mode.

Power distribution system and method thereof in which redundant power is collected only when power pool is below or equal to pool threshold

An apparatus which communicates with another apparatus includes a control unit which monitors a power consumption of the apparatus, supplies a power to the another apparatus when the power consumption includes a surplus, and requests the another apparatus to supply the power when the power consumption includes a shortage, and an adjusting unit which adjusts the power consumption of the apparatus according to an operation of the control unit.

Apparatus, system and method for power management

Provided is a virtual computer system capable of finding a configuration whose total sum of memory access delays is smaller than that of a current configuration. In a virtual computer system in which with memory access times within a node and between nodes differing from each other, a hypervisor controls a plurality of virtual processors which execute a process on a plurality of nodes, the hypervisor includes a unit which obtains a total sum of memory access delay time on the virtual machine based on affinity information indicative of a latency or a band of communication between the virtual processors and traffic between the virtual processors, and a unit which reconfigures physical resources based on the total sum of delay time.
