Abstract:
1. A load control device including a processor for assigning transaction processes to a plurality of computation resources, the load control device comprising: a receiver that receives a transaction process request; an assignment controller that selects assignment destinations to which received transactions are assigned, and then stores the transactions in transmission queues provided for the assignment destinations respectively, wherein at least one of the transmission queues comprises a hardware storage device; a transmitter that transmits transaction data stored in the transmission queues to the assignment destinations; an overflow detector that monitors whether or not the number of transactions accumulated in each of the transmission queues corresponding to the respective assignment destinations exceeds an upper limit; and a reassigning part that, when the number of transactions exceeds the upper limit as a result of the monitoring by the overflow detector, reselects assignment destinations to which the transactions stored at the number of transactions exceeding the upper limit are assigned, wherein an ON/OFF state of a power source of each of the computation resources is controlled based on an expected number of transactions, and the assignment controller selects the assignment destinations based on the ON/OFF state of the power source of each of the computation resources.
