Abstract
A calculation processing apparatus for executing network calculations defined by hierarchically connecting a plurality of logical processing nodes that apply calculation processing to input data, sequentially designates a processing node which is to execute calculation processing based on sequence information that specifies an execution order of calculations of predetermined processing units to be executed by the plurality of processing nodes, so as to implement the network calculations, and executes the calculation processing of the designated processing node in the processing unit to obtain a calculation result. The calculation apparatus allocates partial areas of a memory to the plurality of processing nodes as ring buffers, and writes the calculation result in the memory while circulating a write destination of data to have a memory area corresponding to the amount of the calculation result of the processing unit as a unit.
