Data processing system, central arithmetic processing apparatus, and data processing method

A central arithmetic processing apparatus comprising:

• a storage configured to store data received from an external apparatus or data to be transmitted to the external apparatus;
• a data processor configured to perform data processing using the data stored in the storage and store a processing result in the storage;
• an external transfer controller configured to perform at least one of a control process of transferring the data received from the external apparatus from an interface circuit to an accelerator or the storage and a control process of transferring the data to be transmitted to the external apparatus from the accelerator or the storage to the interface circuit;
• a data processing controller configured to perform control for causing data processing of the accelerator and the data processing of the data processor to be executed on the data received from the external apparatus or the data to be transmitted to the external apparatus;
• and
• a processing result copy processor configured to perform at least one of control for transferring a first processing result which is a processing result of the data processing of the accelerator to the storage and designating the first processing result as a processing target of the data processing of the data processor and control for transferring a second processing result which is a processing result of the data processing of the data processor from the storage to the accelerator and designating the second processing result as a processing target of the data processing of the accelerator.

A data processing method to be executed by a data processing system, the data processing method comprising:

• a first data processing step in which an accelerator performs first data processing;
• a second data processing step in which a central arithmetic processing apparatus performs second data processing;
• an external transfer step in which the central arithmetic processing apparatus performs at least one of a control process of transferring data received from the external apparatus from the interface circuit to the accelerator or the central arithmetic processing apparatus and a control process of transferring data to be transmitted to the external apparatus from the accelerator or the central arithmetic processing apparatus to the interface circuit;
• a data processing control step in which the central arithmetic processing apparatus performs control for causing the first data processing of the first data processing step and the second data processing of the second data processing step to be executed on the data received from the external apparatus or the data to be transmitted to the external apparatus;
• and
• a processing result copy step in which the central arithmetic processing apparatus performs at least one of control for outputting a first processing result which is a processing result of the first data processing to the central arithmetic processing apparatus and designating the first processing result as a processing target of the second data processing and control for outputting a second processing result which is a processing result of the second data processing to the accelerator and designating the second processing result as a processing target of the first data processing.
