A method is for generating a parallel program for a multicore microcomputer from processes in a single program for a single core. The method includes extraction procedure, association procedure, and analysis procedure. The extraction procedure extracts (i) an extracted address of an accessed data item, which is among data items stored in a storage area together with the processes and accessed when each process is executed and (ii) an extracted symbol name of the accessed data item. The association procedure associates an associated address in the storage area storing the accessed data item of the extracted symbol name with the extracted symbol name. The analysis procedure analyzes a dependency between each process based on the extracted address and the associated address, and determines that two processes accessing an identical address have a dependency while determining that two processes not accessing an identical address have no dependency.
