An intermediate command generation unit generates intermediate commands, which are intermediate rendering commands having model data for rendering an object. A graphics command conversion unit converts the generated intermediate commands into a graphic command sequence for execution by a graphics processor. An identity determination unit determines whether a state of a graphics command to be generated from an intermediate command is the same as a state of the graphics command generated previously. A graphics command generation unit generates a graphics command determined by the identity determination unit as not having the same state, and does not generate a graphics command determined as having the same state, defining the command as a redundant command.

Thread information is retained in a main memory. The thread information includes a bit string and last executed information. Each bit of the bit string is allocated to a thread, and the number and the value of the bit indicate the number of the thread and whether or not the thread is in an executable state, respectively. The last executed information is the number of a last executed thread. A processor rotates the bit string so that a bit indicating the last executed thread comes to the end of the bit string. It searches the rotated bit string for a bit corresponding to a thread in the executable state in succession from the top, and selects the number of the first obtained bit as the number of the next thread to be executed. Then, the thread information is updated by changing the value of the bit of this number to indicate not being executable, and setting the last executed information to the number of this bit. This operation is performed by using an atomic command.
