Operation assignment method and apparatus therefor

Abstract

According to an assigning method and its apparatus having a resource use recording section for recording a use state of a resource necessary for executing given operations, a functional unit possession recording section for recording information representing an inexecution functional unit, and an operator information management section for storing an operation executable by each functional unit and a clock count necessary for executing the operation, in order to assign an operation selected from the operations (by the operation selection step) to an optimal functional unit, the use state of the resource is checked from the resource use recording section (with reference to the usable resource decision step), the operation executable functional unit is found from the operation unit possession recording section (by the operation assignable unit decision step). A clock count necessary for executing the operation in the executable functional unit is considered with reference to the operator information management section. The optimal functional unit to be assigned with the selected operation is selected and decided (finally by the functional unit selection step), thereby performing an effective operation assigning process.
