Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing method executed by a processor included in an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring statistical information including a distribution of operation result values from the memory;
• when it is determined that a number of acquired statistical information samples is larger than a predetermined value, generating a program by setting a data type for which a ratio of a maximum value to a minimum value of values that can be expressed is smaller among data types usable for target data in an operation as the target data;
• and
• when it is determined that the number of acquired statistical information samples is smaller than the predetermined value, generating the program by setting the data type for which the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value of values that can be expressed is larger among data types usable for target data in the operation as the target data.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a processor included in an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the process comprising:

• acquiring, by the processor, statistical information including a distribution of operation result values from the memory;
• when it is determined that a number of acquired statistical information samples is larger than a predetermined value, generating a program by setting a data type for which a ratio of a maximum value to a minimum value of values that can be expressed is smaller among data types usable for target data in an operation as the target data;
• and
• when it is determined that the number of acquired statistical information samples is smaller than the predetermined value, generating the program by setting the data type for which the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value of values that can be expressed is larger among data types usable for target data in the operation as the target data.
