IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

In an image processing apparatus including a reconfigurable device, a plurality of configuration data items for configuring a circuit for realizing a predetermined function in the reconfigurable device and for arranging and wiring the respective circuit at differing locations of the device to each other are stored in a memory, and operation information is obtained and accumulated based on an operation time of the circuit for realizing the predetermined function each time a job using the circuit for realizing the predetermined function is executed. Then, when the accumulated value exceeds a threshold, the circuit for realizing the predetermined function is configured in the reconfigurable device using other configuration data corresponding to the circuit for realizing the predetermined function and stored in the memory.

1. An image processing apparatus including a reconfigurable device, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a first storage unit configured to store a plurality of configuration data items for configuring a circuit for realizing a predetermined function in the reconfigurable device, wherein each of the plurality of configuration data items is for arranging and wiring the circuit for realizing the predetermined function at a location in the device different to each other; an accumulating unit configured to obtain and accumulate operation information based on an operation time for the circuit for realizing the predetermined function, each time a job that uses the circuit for realizing the predetermined function is executed; and a reconfiguration unit configured to, when an accumulated value accumulated by the accumulating unit is greater than a threshold, control so as to configure the circuit for realizing the predetermined function in the reconfigurable device, by using, from the plurality of configuration data items corresponding to the circuit for realizing the predetermined function and stored in the first storage unit, another configuration data item other than a configuration data item that corresponds to the circuit configured in the reconfigurable device.
