<p>A calculation apparatus comprises a plurality of processing units that processes a plurality of predetermined calculation processes each composed of steps, respectively, and a memory device to which the plurality of processing units are accessible. Specific information that specifies a step that should be executed next among steps of each of the calculation process is memorized in the memory device. In each of the processing units, only when a step specified by the specific information should be executed by that processing unit, the specified step is executed, and the specific information is updated to allow the next step to be executed. This is repeated for all the steps of each calculation process assigned to the plurality of processing units. Each processing unit will not execute steps until the specific information shows that a step specified by the specific information is for the processing unit.</p> |
