| 1. A data processing apparatus comprising:
a plurality of calculating units connected to each other in series, each of said plurality of calculating units being configured
to perform an individually allotted calculation in a unit cycle, the unit cycle including a predetermined time period;
a plurality of memory units connected between said plurality of calculating units, in such a manner that each of said plurality
of memory units and each of said plurality of calculating units are connected alternately; and
a control unit configured to select a calculating unit to perform the individually allotted calculation in a certain unit
cycle, among said plurality of calculating units,
wherein said control unit selects a calculating unit to perform the individually allotted calculation in a certain unit cycle
among said plurality of calculating units according to notified permissible time information on regarding a total processing
time required for each of said plurality of calculating units to perform the individually allotted calculation, and
wherein said control unit sets an input interval of data inputted to a first stage calculating unit of said plurality of calculating
units according to the permissible time information, then selects a calculating unit to perform the individually allotted
calculation in a certain unit cycle, among said plurality of calculating units according to the set input interval.
