Abstract:
1. An information processing system including a plurality of processor cores for generating printing data to be supplied to a printing unit from Page Description Language (PDL) data, the system comprising: a first processing unit configured to generate intermediate data by processing the PDL data using a specified processor core of the plurality of processor cores and store the intermediate data in an intermediate data storing unit; a second processing unit configured to generate the printing data by processing the intermediate data stored in the intermediate data storing unit using a processor core other than the specified processor core of the plurality of processor cores, and store the printing data in a printing data storing unit, and a control unit configured to adjust a number of processor cores used by the first processing unit on the basis of an amount of intermediate data stored in the intermediate data storing unit, and adjust a number of processor cores used by the second processing unit on the basis of an amount of printing data stored in the printing data storing unit.
