Abstract:
1. A computer program product on a non-transitory medium for causing a computer to function as a controller controlling the average response time that elapses between the reception by an information processing apparatus of a processing request and the response of the information processing apparatus to the processing request, the computer program product including instructions for causing a computer to implement a method, the method comprising: obtaining a response time goal which is a target value of the average response time, via a response time goal obtaining section of the computer; calculating a predicted response time which is a predicted value o f the average response time at the time point when a predetermined reference period has elapsed from the setting of an operation mode in the information processing apparatus, the operation mode being any of a plurality of operation modes that provide different throughputs, via a predicted response time calculating section of the computer; and setting the operation mode in the information processing apparatus if the predicted response time calculated by the predicted response time calculating section is less than the response time goal, via an operation mode setting section of the computer.
