IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

An image processing apparatus specifies a difference between a circuit configuration for processing an accepted job and a circuit configuration configured in a reconfiguration circuit, and based on the difference, selects a functional block to be reconfigured in the reconfiguration circuit, and reconfigures the reconfiguration circuit by reading configuration data from storage unit.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a reconfiguration circuit for which a circuit configuration can be partially reconfigured; a storage unit configured to store in advance configuration data for each of a plurality of functional blocks for configuring the reconfiguration circuit; an accepting unit configured to accept a job; a specification unit configured to specify a difference between a circuit configuration for processing the job accepted by the accepting unit and a circuit configuration already configured in the reconfiguration circuit; a selection unit configured to select, based on the specified difference, a functional block to be reconfigured in the reconfiguration circuit; and a reconfiguration unit configured to, based on the functional block selected by the selection unit, reconfigure the reconfiguration circuit by reading configuration data from the storage.
