An image formation apparatus includes: an image formation unit that forms an image based on a job; and a control unit that controls the image formation unit, the control unit having an image quality verification/adjustment function to compare an image quality of the scanned image and a predetermined image quality standard, and to carry out an image quality adjustment such that the image quality of the image is within an allowable range of the predetermined image quality standard when the image quality of the scanned image is not within the allowable range, the control unit comparing a required image quality for the job and the predetermined image quality standard before a carrying-out procedure to carry out the image quality verification/adjustment function before execution of the job as necessary, and deciding whether the image for the job satisfies the required image quality by the image quality verification/adjustment function.

Image formation apparatus, image formation system and management apparatus configured to perform image quality verification and adjustment

Disclosed is a processing apparatus, which makes it possible to make a cursor automatically move by employing a pointing device. The processing apparatus includes a control section and a processing section that implements processing under the controlling operations conducted by the control section. The control section is provided with: a display controlling function that controls the displaying operations on the screen; a processing implementation controlling function that implements the processing corresponding to the object designated by the cursor; a status change detecting function that detects a status change against which it is necessary to implement a processing operation; and an automatic cursor moving function that conducts the controlling operations so as to automatically move the cursor to the object corresponding to the processing operation being necessary for the status change concerned, or a processing implementation position display, at which the necessary processing operation should be implemented against the status change.

A definition file includes a plurality of parallel descriptions that respectively define a plurality of parallel processes performed independently. The parallel descriptions include a first parallel description showing a first parallel process with a plurality of data inputs including a data input into which output data of another parallel process is inputted, with data with the same latency from input in a parallel processing system are inputted into the data inputs. A forming method includes a step of generating hardware configuration information including circuit configurations for executing the parallel processes that include at least one of the plurality of types of elements; and a second step of adding a delay element to the hardware configuration information so that data with a same latency from input into the parallel processing system are inputted into the plurality of data inputs of the circuit configuration for executing the first parallel process.

Method for forming a parallel processing system

An integrated circuit device comprising a data processing block including a first matrix and a second matrix is disclosed. The first matrix and the second matrix respectively include a plurality of types of operation units and a wiring group for connecting the plurality of types of operation units, a configuration of data flow with the plurality of types of operation units being changeable by changing a route of the wiring group for data supplying to the plurality of types of operation units. One of the plurality of types of operation units is a delay type operation unit that include a data path suited to processing for delaying a transfer time of data. The wiring group of the first matrix and the wiring group of the second matrix are separated, and the integrated circuit device further comprises a plurality of the delay type operation units that are arranged along boundary of the first matrix and the second matrix for connecting the wiring group of the first matrix and the wiring group of the second matrix via data paths included in the plurality of the delay type operation units.

IC containing matrices of plural type operation units with configurable routing wiring group and plural delay operation units bridging two wiring groups

The present invention provides a data processing system that includes a plurality of processing units and first, second, and third data transfer means. The first data transfer means connects a plurality of processing units in a network, exchanges first data, and configures at least one reconfigurable data flow by connecting at least two of the plurality of processing units. The second data transfer means supplies control information that loads setting data as second data to the plurality of processing units in parallel. The third data transfer means supplies the setting data to each of the plurality of the processing units individually. Setting data is data for setting a data flow with a different function by directly or indirectly changing other processing unit connected to a processing unit via the first data transfer means, and/or changing a process included in the processing unit.

Data processing system and control method utilizing a plurality of date transfer means

An integrated circuit device with a data processing block is provided, the data processing block including a plurality of operation units that are arranged in a matrix, a plurality of first wire sets that extend in a first direction in the matrix and transfer input data of each operation unit, a plurality of second wire sets that extend in a second direction in the matrix and transfer output data of each operation unit, and a plurality of switching units that are arranged at each intersection between the first and second wire sets and can select and connect any wire in the first wire sets and any wire in the second wire sets. The plurality of operation units include a plurality of types of operation units with different data paths that are suited to special-purpose, processing, with an arrangement of operation units of the same type in the first direction or the second direction being formed in at least part of the data processing block. The functioning of the integrated circuit device can be dynamically changed by changing the configuration of the operation units and the integrated circuit device is composed of operation units with different data paths that are suited to special-purpose processing so that the integrated circuit device is both compact and economical.
