Abstract
A reconfigurable processor calculates execution times of configuration for executing pipeline processing from hardware configuration information, and fixes a clock cycle until processing ends. A counter compares the fixed clock cycle with the actual number of elapsed clocks, and, when the number of elapsed clocks equals the clock cycle, it is determined that pipeline processing has ended, and a configuration controller is notified of this.
