Abstract
A job execution apparatus includes: a receiving unit configured to receive each job; a calculation unit configured to calculate an index value representing a load needed to execute each of a pre-processing sub-job and a post-processing sub-job when each of n jobs (n is a natural number equal to or more than 2) is decomposed into a pre-processing sub-job for generating information, and a post-processing sub-job for causing an output unit to output information generated by executing the pre-processing sub-job; a pre-processing execution unit configured to sequentially execute pre-processing sub-jobs which are respectively included in jobs received by the receiving unit and registered in a pre-processing sub-job queue; and a post-processing execution unit configured to sequentially execute, upon completion of the pre-processing sub-jobs, post-processing sub-jobs which are respectively included in the received jobs and which are registered in a post-processing sub-job queue.
