CIRCUIT DESIGN SUPPORT APPARATUS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

A scheduling result file (103) indicates that one or more processes are assigned to each of a plurality of process steps to be executed sequentially. A target specification section (120) specifies a target process that is a process performing computation and an identical-type process that is a process assigned to a process step executed after a process step to which the target process has been assigned and performing computation which is identical in type to the target process among processes in the scheduling result file. A destination specification section (130) specifies, as a destination step, a process step that enables a computing unit to be shared between the target process and the identical-type process when the target process is assigned. A scheduling change section (150) changes description of the scheduling result file to description in a state in which the target process has been assigned to the destination step.
