RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT

摘要

To enhance efficiency of implementation of a pipeline process in processing elements and improve processing performance.;Processing elements (PE) (4a) to (4d) are reconfigured to form a circuit based on configuration information and execute a prescribed process. Memory units (1a) and (1b) store configuration information for the processing elements (4a) to (4d). A memory switching unit (2) switches the plurality of memory units (1a) and (1b) to store therein the configuration information on the stages of a pipeline process (5) to be performed by the processing elements (4a) to (4d). A configuration information output unit (3) switches the memory units (1a) and (1b) to output therefrom the configuration information to the plurality of processing elements (4a) to (4d).
