Abstract

A scheduling method of a scheduler that manages threads is executed by a computer. The scheduling method includes selecting a CPU of relatively less load, when a second thread is generated from a first thread to be processed; determining whether the second thread operates exclusively from the first thread; copying a first storage area assessed by the first thread onto a second storage area managed by the CPU, when the second thread operates exclusively; calculating based on an address of the second storage area and a predetermined value, an offset for a second address for the second thread to access the first storage area; and notifying the CPU of the offset for the second address to convert a first address to a third address for accessing the second storage area.
