Abstract
A coprocessor stores to local memory, a driver execution start time, for each execution start of drivers. If a CPU call process is executed during the execution of driver A, the coprocessor calculates the difference of the execution start time and the current time, for drivers B and C. Taking driver C as an example, the coprocessor adds to the difference calculated for the driver C, a processing time required for the CPU call process of driver A and a processing time required for a normal process of driver B. The coprocessor determines whether respective addition results for driver C comply with respective time constraints. If it is determined that an addition result for the driver C cannot comply with the time constraint, and the coprocessor sends an execution request for driver C to another coprocessor.
