Patent ID: 8832703

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a priority control process comprising: lowering a job allocation priority that indicates a priority order with which a plurality of jobs dispatched to a computational resource are allocated to a user, based on an estimated utilization amount of the computational resource recorded in a memory device for each of the plurality of jobs that are dispatched to the computational resource; increasing the job allocation priority with a lapse of time at a restoration rate that is determined by a utilizable amount of the computational resource per unit time recorded in the memory device for each of a plurality of users; and changing, upon completion of one job, the job allocation priority based on a difference between the estimated utilization amount and an amount of the computational resource actually utilized for the one job, wherein the restoration rate for each of the plurality of users is recorded in the memory device for each of a plurality of time frames, depending on a planned utilization amount of the computational resource for each of the plurality of time frames.
