Abstract
A data processing apparatus includes an output unit. The output unit determines, when parallel control is performed in a data processor created in the data processing apparatus so that plural processing modules forming the data processor perform data processing in parallel, on the basis of a value representing a parallel-processing time for which at least two processing modules are operated in parallel and a value representing a control time, which is not necessary when serial control is performed so that the processing modules serially perform data processing but which is necessary when the parallel control is performed so that the processing modules perform data processing in parallel, whether a time necessary to complete data processing performed by the data processor under the parallel control would be shorter than a time necessary to complete data processing performed by the data processor under the serial control, and outputs a determination result.
