Abstract
In an information processing apparatus in which data processing is performed in a predetermined sequence by processing modules connected to a ring bus, if an amount of data generated by input data in the ring bus is not considered, the data amount exceeds an amount of data that can be held by the processing modules on the ring bus, and a data collision often occurs, so that processing efficiency of the ring bus deteriorates. An amount of data input into the ring bus is controlled so that the total sum of data amounts output to the ring bus from processing units used for processing does not exceed a maximum amount of data that can be held by the processing modules on the ring bus.
