RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT

摘要

Mounting efficiency of processing elements of pipeline processing is enhanced to increase processing performance. Circuitry of the processing elements (PEs; 4a-4d) is reconfigured by configuration information to perform a specified processing. Storage sections (1a, 1b) store the configuration information of the PEs (4a-4d). A storage switching section (2) stores, while switching the storage sections (1a, 1b), the configuration information at each stage of pipeline processing (5) processed by the PEs (4a-4d). A configuration information output section (3) outputs the configuration information in the storage sections (1a, 1b) to the PEs (4a-4d) while switching the storage sections (1a, 1b).
