Abstract
An apparatus includes an arithmetic circuit that performs a pipeline operation on first data as an input; and a determination circuit that determines, based on pipeline operation results, whether to perform the pipeline operation by inputting, to the arithmetic circuit, second data different from the first data, wherein when the determination circuit has determined that the pipeline operation is to be performed by inputting the second data to the arithmetic circuit, the arithmetic circuit suspends the pipeline operation using the second data thereof, and performs the pipeline operation with the first data input until the second data is input, and when the second data is input, the arithmetic circuit resumes the pipeline operation using the second data.
