Abstract
In an accounting apparatus, a conflict determination unit determines whether or not the accounting mode is in a conflict state where a process is executing in another logical CPU and stores the determination result in an accounting information storage unit, when a process of the user starts to be executed in a logical CPU of an SMT processor. And a CPU use time acquisition unit collects the CPU use time of the process in the conflict state or the non-conflict state distinctively and stores it in an accounting information storage unit. Thereafter, a CPU use time conversion unit converts the CPU use time in the conflict state, with a predetermined weighting, based on the CPU use time in the conflict state and the non-conflict state, after the end of executing the process, and an accounting calculation unit calculates the accounting amount for the process from an effective use time.
