INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. An apparatus including a plurality of modules, each module comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store a waiting ID and a specific ID of the module;
a communication unit configured to transmit and receive packets to and from a bus; and
a processing unit configured to process data of a packet which includes a valid flag indicating that the packet is valid among the received packets,wherein the communication unit takes in data held by a packet which has an ID that coincides with the waiting ID, and stores the processed data in a packet which includes the valid flag indicating invalid and an ID coincident with the specific ID, and transmits the packet.
