DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING THE DATA OF AN OBJECT PROGRAM FOR A PARALLEL OPERATION APPARATUS

An object code for sequentially switching contexts of processing circuits arrayed in a matrix in a parallel operation apparatus is generated from a general source code descriptive of operation of the parallel operation apparatus. A Data Flow Graph (DFG) is generated from the source code descriptive of operation of the parallel operation apparatus according to limiting conditions, registered in advance, representing a physical structure, etc. of the parallel operation apparatus, and scheduled in a Control Data Flow Graph (CDFG). An Register Transfer Level (RTL) description is generated from the CDFG, converting a finite-state machine into an object code and converting a data path into a net list. An object code of the processing circuits is generated in each context from the net list.
