Design support device, design support method, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium recorded with design support program

A design support method comprising:

• extracting, by an analysis unit, an operation expression where a number of loops is less than or equal to a number threshold from a source code and outputting the operation expression as an extracted operation expression;
• retaining, by a latency storage unit, as operation expression latency in a storage unit, latency of a converted operation expression converted into a hardware description language from the extracted operation expression output from the analysis unit;
• and
• outputting, by a determination unit, the extracted operation expression as a determination result when the operation expression latency is more than or equal to a latency threshold.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium which records a design support program to cause a computer to execute the processing of:

• analysis processing to extract an operation expression where a number of loops is less than or equal to a number threshold from a source code and to output the operation expression as an extracted operation expression;
• latency storing processing to store, as operation expression latency in a storage unit, latency of a converted operation expression converted into a hardware description language from the extracted operation expression output by the analysis processing;
• and
• determination processing to output the extracted operation expression as a determination result when the operation expression latency is more than or equal to a latency threshold.
