Abstract
In an information processing system, when a request for execution of a new task is accepted, one or more of the required processing time and bus bandwidth for the new task are identified. A total required processing time, which is a sum of processing times required for the new task and a task reserved on a scheduler for indicating a procedure pertaining to a plurality of tasks, is compared with a processing time available in an apparatus executing those tasks. Similarly, a total required bus bandwidth, which is a sum of bus bandwidths required for processing the reserved task and the new task, is compared with a bus bandwidth available in the apparatus. Based on the result of the comparisons, it is determined whether the new task is executable.
