PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To considerably shorten the design turn-around time by excluding feedback related to division to hardware and software in cooperative verification after coding. SOLUTION: A source described in a general higher level language like C language or C++ language generated by algorithm design is divided into hardware and software (step A3), and an evaluation function to count the traffic of a bus is generated (step A4), and the source is corrected (step A6) so that the evaluation function may be executed every time when data (variable) are loaded on the bus, and thereafter, performance evaluation is performed (step A7), and division to hardware and software is optimally performed in an architecture design stage (step A16) by the bus traffic to the finally calculated processing rate (steps A8 and A9).
