PARALLEL-PROCESSING SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE, METHOD FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING, AND PROGRAM

摘要

A parallel-processing semiconductor integrated circuit device assigning desired operation processing to a plurality of operation elements on the basis of requested performance allows minimum power consumption on respective conditions without regard to requested processing performance, the property of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, and operation environment. A control part (6) of the parallel-processing semiconductor integrated circuit device varies the parallelism of the operation processing part (1) using a power source switch part (2), a clock generation part (3), and a power source voltage conversion part (4) according to the result of monitoring by a power monitor part (5) and controls a power source frequency according to the parallelism.
