PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize redesign time for a chip in chip design. SOLUTION: A modular design method provides a custom-designed chip by using variable and scalable module multiprocessor design, and without redesigning a module including design. The design includes a PU module, a plurality of first assist processing modules, and a plurality of first DMA control modules, with each being associated with different one of the plurality of assist processing modules. First multiprocessor design including one or more of the plurality of modules is generated, and the number of the modules to be reduced and/or added is selected, beforehand, from the first design. Furthermore, second multiprocessor design in which the selected number of the modules selected beforehand is reduced, and/or added is performed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
