Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores image data; a transfer-path determining unit that determines a transfer path via which the image data is to be transferred from among multiple transfer paths connected to the storage unit; a selection unit that selects the transfer path via which the image data is to be transferred based on the determined transfer path; and an access-request control unit that issues a next access request to the storage unit after waiting a response to an already-issued access request to the storage unit when the determined transfer path is changed from a transfer path used in most recent transfer of the image data.
Claims6
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit that stores image data;
- a transfer-path determining unit that determines a transfer path via which the image data is to be transferred from among multiple transfer paths connected to the storage unit;
- a selection unit that selects the transfer path via which the image data is to be transferred based on the determined transfer path;
- and
- an access-request control unit that issues a next access request to the storage unit after waiting a response to an already-issued access request to the storage unit when the determined transfer path is changed from a transfer path used in most recent transfer of the image data.
A control method comprising:
- determining a transfer path via which image data is to be transferred from among multiple transfer paths connected to a storage unit that stores the image data;
- selecting the transfer path via which the image data is to be transferred based on the determined transfer path;
- and
- issuing a next access request to the storage unit after waiting a response to an already-issued access request to the storage unit when the determined transfer path is changed from a transfer path used most recently.
