Abstract
A sever includes an SVP 206 which is a control device capable of executing processing independent of a CPU, and an interrupt 314 is periodically applied to the CPU. An SVP device driver 303, being triggered by the interrupt 314, acquires an amount of server resources used, such as CPU operating time and memory capacity, and user information used by using an API provided by an OS, and delivers such information to an SVP 206. The SVP 206 transmits resource information thus delivered to an accounting server via an NIC 211. The accounting server accounts an amount of server resource used on a user basis and bills the users according to the quantity of server resource used. With such arrangement, it is possible to accurately grasp the usage status of server resource regardless of server loading, and further, it is possible to execute accounting of server resources and billing based on such accounting regardless of types of OS or CPU.
