Abstract:
A communication path management apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and to decide, for each of processing-pairs, part of inter-adjacent-server communication paths that couple adjacent servers on communication paths among servers in the network as data-transfer-paths used for data transfer from a first processing to a second processing of a processing-pair, the processing-pair including first and second processings that are consecutive in the order of execution, based on an execution track record of the first processing that is earlier in the order of execution and the second processing that is later in the order of execution in the processing-pair in each of the servers, and instruct servers at both ends of the data-transfer-paths decided regarding each of the processing-pairs to carry out data transfer of an execution result of the first processing by the data-transfer-paths.

Claim (Index 11):
The communication path management method according to  claim 9 , further comprising:\n storing delay time information that represents a delay time of communication between adjacent servers on the communication paths among the plurality of servers and execution frequency of the first processing regarding each of the plurality of servers; and in the establishing the data transfer paths, a server having highest execution frequency of the first processing among the plurality of servers is identified as a starting point server based on the execution frequency of the first processing regarding each of the plurality of servers, and a shortest path with which the delay time of communication is shortest among communication paths from the starting point server to a respective one of the other servers is decided based on the delay time information, and an inter-adjacent-server communication path on the shortest path is decided as the data transfer path.
