Original Abstract Submitted
A program control device includes a conversion unit which converts multiple programs to be simultaneously executed by an accelerator into intermediate representations indicating computation operations to be executed by programs and memory information indicating an amount of memory required by data used in the computation operations, respectively, and a determination unit which determines an execution order of multiple intermediate representations so that an amount of memory usage used by the accelerator when the accelerator executes the multiple programs simultaneously is below a threshold value of the memory based on the converted multiple intermediate representations and multiple memory information.
