Abstract

An information processing system configured to control assignment of processor cores to a processing unit that generates printing data from intermediate data based on an amount of the stored printing data. Intermediate data are generated using a specified processor core of a plurality of processor cores and stored in an intermediate data storing unit. Printing data are generated by processing the intermediate data using a processor core other than the specified processor core, and stored in a printing data storing unit. The number of processor cores used by the first processing unit is adjusted on the basis of an amount of intermediate data stored in the intermediate data storing unit. The number of processor cores used by the second processing unit is adjusted on the basis of an amount of printing data stored in the printing data storing unit.
