Abstract: In a data processing device, a fixed-point position control unit determines, as first control. The fixed-point position control unit causes a detection calculation unit to perform calculation processing on processing target data at a processing point in time. The saturation rate control unit instructs, as second control to be repeated by the fixed-point position control unit, the fixed-point position control unit to move at least the fixed-point position as control to increase a lower limit saturation rate proportional to a magnitude of a counted lower limit counter value with respect to a result of the first control. The fixed-point position control unit performs, as the second control, a predetermined determination on the basis of the instruction from the saturation rate control unit and the metadata, determines the fixed-point position moved for each layer, and causes calculation processing to be performed.
