Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprises: a division unit dividing input data; a processing unit performing predetermined processing for the divided data; a generation unit generating intermediate data by referencing the processed divided data, and combining the intermediate data; a temporary storage unit storing the processed divided data; and a detection unit selecting a group of divided data that includes the processed divided data, and determining whether or not all processed divided data in the selected group is stored, is provided. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that all the processed divided data is stored, the generation unit generates intermediate data and then deletes all the processed divided data in the selected group, and if it is determined that a part of the processed divided data is not stored, the processing unit preferentially generates the part of the processed divided data.
