1. An edge device capable of requesting a server including a first processing processor dedicated to specific processing to execute predetermined processing, comprising:
a determination unit configured to determine whether the predetermined processing is processable by a second processing processor included in the edge device and dedicated to the specific processing; and
a control unit configured to cause the second processing processor of the edge device to execute the predetermined processing in a case where it is determined that the predetermined processing is processable,
wherein the determination unit refers to performance information on the second processing processor and makes the determination by depending on whether the second processing processor satisfies performance supporting the predetermined processing,
wherein in a case where it is determined that the predetermined processing is not processable by the second processing processor included in the edge device, the determination unit determines whether the predetermined processing is processable by the first processing processor included in the server, and
wherein in a case where it is determined that the predetermined processing is processable by the first processing processor, the control unit causes the server to execute the processing.
