Abstract

A problem with conventional art is that, in an environment wherein a plurality of interrupts having different priorities for processing occur in an overlapping manner from external devices, responding to high-priority interrupts while ensuring execution intervals of periodic tasks has been difficult. A partition execution control device according to the present invention comprises: a first management table which stores, for each partition, initial time slices, remaining time slices, execution priorities, execution states, and an interrupt disable level for suppressing the interrupts from the external devices; and a second management table which stores the interrupt priorities of the external devices and partitions to which the interrupts are to be output. This partition execution control device controls the execution of the partitions using the execution priorities and the time slices stored in the management tables, and controls the execution of the interrupts using the interrupt disable levels and the interrupt priorities.
