INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus and a method of controlling the same for performing only an optimal process according to a simulation purpose of an operator.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus comprises a plurality of applications each of which has specific virtual time. Specifically, the information processing apparatus instructs the application to perform processing for predetermined virtual time with timing when passed time of virtual time defined in the information processing apparatus becomes a multiple number of a synchronous interval defined every application. The information processing apparatus reflects the designated synchronous intervals in processing being performed with timing when the passed time becomes a multiple number of the designated synchronous interval when the synchronous intervals of the respective applications are designated.
