  • Publication number: 20140324799
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a data processing apparatus includes a first generating unit, a second generating unit, a transfer instructing unit, and a transfer controller. The first generating unit generates transfer instruction information that specifies a storage position of transfer data in a data transfer source, a storage position of the transfer data in a data transfer destination, and a data transfer size, when the first generating unit determines that data transfer from a first storage unit to a second storage unit is required. The second generating unit generates fragment-transfer instruction information that is obtained by fragmenting the transfer instruction information into fragments of a predetermined data size. The transfer instructing unit instructs to perform data transfer based on the fragment-transfer instruction information. The transfer controller controls the data transfer between the first storage unit and the second storage unit according to instruction of the data transfer.
