Abstract
Conventionally, an excessively strict current limitation is often adopted. An interconnection apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a decision unit. The acquisition unit serves to acquire a current density and data rate of a region that a specific interconnect passes through. The decision unit serves to decide whether the temperature increase corresponding to the current density and the data rate acquired by the acquisition unit is within a permissible range.
