MODULE EXECUTION DEVICE, AND MODULARIZATION PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance reusability of a module program for inter-module communication. SOLUTION: A module management part 105 generates a controlled module 103/104 in response to a controlled module generation instruction from a control module 101/102. It also instructs a communication identifier setting part 106/107 to generate a communication identifier (inter-module communication control information) composed of a module number and a processor number, which is used for inter-module communication between the control module 101/102 and the controlled module 103/104. The setting part 106/107 generates each communication identifier and sets it to each module 101-104. A communication part selection part 108 selects a communication part 109/110 according to the communication identifier given from each module 101-104. The communication part 109 performs inter-processor communication, while the communication part 110 performs intra-processor communication. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
