Abstract
In a case that a first processor assists a second processor, the first processor issues a request for execution of a type of image processing assigned to the second processor, receives information specifying data on which the first processor performs the type of image processing assigned to the second processor, and performs the type image processing assigned to the second processor on the data specified by the information. According to this, it is possible to execute auxiliary processing by a light-loaded processor for a heavy-loaded processor in correspondence with loads of plural processors.
