An arithmetic processing circuit includes, a dividing circuit that divides a plurality of data blocks into groups of a number equal to the number of arithmetic processing circuits included in an information processing apparatus, a data selecting circuit that selects respective first data blocks from the plurality of data blocks included in the respective groups, a transmission destination selecting circuit that selects arithmetic processing circuits different from each other as respective transmission destinations from the plurality of arithmetic processing circuits for the respective first data blocks selected by the data selecting circuit based on destination number information obtained by exclusive disjunction operation on identification number information assigned to each arithmetic processing circuit and cyclic number information assigned to each group, and a transmitting circuit that transmits the respective first data blocks selected by the data selecting circuit to the respective arithmetic processing circuits selected by the transmission destination selecting circuit.
