Abstract:
1. A computer-readable recording medium storing therein a design data conversion computer program that causes a computer to execute: receiving, by the computer, design data of a design subject, the design subject being a system that includes a multiplexed module formed of a plurality of modules of an identical category and type that operate in parallel and each include a combinational circuit and a sequential circuit; substituting, by the computer, the sequential circuits of the modules with a multiplexed element formed by multiplexing a group of sequential circuit elements common to each of the sequential circuits; generating, by the computer, a control circuit that time-division operates the multiplexed element; constructing, by the computer, based on the design data, a single module that includes one combinational circuit selected from among the combinational circuits of the modules, the multiplexed element, and the control circuit; and outputting, by the computer, design data of the system including the single module.
