COMPUTER USE FEE CALCULATION DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROCESSING DIVISION METHOD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer use fee calculation device that can calculate, for every job of computer processing, a computer use fee reflecting an energy charge for energy consumption required in the computer processing. PSOLUTION: Computer processing being executed or having been executed by distribution over a plurality of computers 2 is divided between the computers 2. Computer processing in a management computer 4 executes a fee calculation process of multiplying a unit price per hour of energy consumed by each computer 2 and a processing time about each of a single or a plurality of processing steps divided in time series in the computer 2 to calculate an energy charge for each processing step, and summing up such energy charges to calculate an energy charge for the computer processing. The processing steps are preferably divided by a predetermined division process such that every single computer finishes the processing in a time zone of a fixed unit price per hour of energy.
