ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, a grouping method for process units, each including basic modules and data, the process units being assigned to processors in a program for a multiprocessor system, the program including the basic modules and a parallel statement describing relationships between parallel processes for the basic modules, the method includes displaying a dataflow graph visually showing a process status of each process unit based on the parallel statement, and specifying a candidate for a connection of process units on the dataflow graph, wherein the dataflow graph displays data entries, nodes in the basic modules, and edges connecting the data entries and the nodes.
