A computation processor outputs whether a carry-out is generated, by incrementing a result of computation by 1, during rounding of the result of the computation. The computation processor includes a computing unit that performs the computation; a shift amount calculating unit that calculates a shift amount of the result of the computation; a normalizing unit that performs normalization of the result of the computation, by using the shift amount; a predicting unit that, when the result of the computation is shifted by an amount equal to or more than a predetermined shift amount by using the shift amount, predicts whether each of bits in a predetermined region of a shift result is 1, in parallel with the normalization; and a detecting unit that detects a generation of the carry-out, by receiving a normalized result from the normalizing unit and a predicted result from the predicting unit.
