The present invention provides a program execution environment specification method capable of carrying out effective management of resources used for execution of a program. When a command to specify allocation of an area to store a logical address is issued, firstly, an address space structure is allocated as an area to store the logical address and an execution space structure is allocated to store an information of an area for sled execution. Next, a pointer to the address space structure is stored in a pointer to the execution space structure, and the pointer to the execution space structure is linked to a list of the pointer to the address space structure. After this, a sled structure is allocated as an area to store a sled information, the pointer to the execution space structure is stored in the pointer to the sled structure, and the pointer to the sled structure is linked to the list of the pointer to the execution space structure.
