Abstract
A program conversion apparatus includes: the constant division unit for specifying instructions in the serial assembler code that use large constants which cannot be arranged within the operation fields of object VLIWs and for dividing the specified instructions into divided constant use instructions for storing pieces of the large constants into the specialized constant buffer of a VLIW processor and divided constant use instructions for performing operations using the stored constants; the dependence graph generation unit for generating a dependence graph based on the execution order of each instruction in the serial assembler code after the division process by the constant division unit ; and the instruction relocation unit for relocating the instructions according to the dependence graph to generate parallel assembler code.
