Abstract
A generated job is divided in units of pages, and devices for executing processes for the respective pages are assigned. Processes by the first and second CPUs are assigned in accordance with whether a large or small number of real-time operations are required in data processing. By controlling the use of a plurality of buses so as to perform processes in units of pages in parallel, the throughput of data processing can be increased.
