A correction apparatus includes an acquirer that acquires the execution time of an instruction in a given block among a block group that includes blocks obtained by dividing program code; a detector that detects a first resource group designated by a tail instruction in a preceding block that is executed before the given block and a second resource group designated by a head instruction of the given block; an identifier that identifies a resource common to the first and the second resource groups; a calculator that from the time when the identified resource is used by the head instruction and the time when use of the identified resource by the tail instruction ends, calculates a delay period caused by the preceding block; a corrector that based on the calculated delay period, corrects the acquired execution time; and an output device that outputs the corrected execution time.
