Abstract
A sub-processor different from the main processor executing control in the operating system (OS) is designated to control a device driver corresponding to a communication unit and thus, the communication control is executed by the sub-processor in response to an interrupt originating from a network card functioning as the communication unit in an information processing apparatus equipped with a plurality of processors and engaged in communication via a network. The structure enables the main processor to execute data processing with a high level of efficiency without a time lag in the data processing.
