<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus enhancing the processing capability of a heavily loaded function in a fluctuating loaded situation for a plurality of kinds of functions. <P>SOLUTION: The information processing apparatus includes: a plurality of programmable logic circuits which output signals after executing a process of a predetermined function on the signals; a nonvolatile memory for storing pieces of logic circuit information corresponding to a plurality of kinds of functions; and a control part which stores a threshold value serving as a reference to determine the size of load, sets either of the plurality of kinds of functions to be executable in each of the plurality of programmable logic circuits according to information about a predetermined initial condition, then periodically monitors load for each function executed by the plurality of programmable logic circuits, and, if there is a first function, i.e., a function whose load exceeds the threshold value, distributes the load of the first function to the programmable logic circuit executing a second function, i.e., a function whose load is not higher than the threshold value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
