Installation device and installation method

Abstract

A storage unit (14) stores statistical information (14a) including an amount of resource consumption and performance information, which represents a performance, of each piece of hardware of a plurality of types that are candidates for an arrangement destination of a function, an accepting unit (15a) accepts inputs of description details of a function in a high-level language, which is a hardware description language corresponding to the hardware of the plurality of types, and a performance requirement that represents a required performance, a performance predicting unit (15b) calculates a predicted performance, which is a performance that is predicted, and a predicted amount of resource consumption, which is an amount of resource consumption that is predicted, using the description details and a predetermined algorithm for each piece of hardware; and a device selecting unit (15c) selects, as an arrangement destination, hardware with the calculated predicted performance and the performance information satisfying the performance requirement and a total value of the predicted amount of resource consumption and the amount of resource consumption being equal to or smaller than a resource capacity.
