Abstract
A reconfigurable integrated circuit device which is configured to an arbitrary computation state based on configuration data has a reconfiguration circuit unit, having a plurality of processor elements which are reconfigurable and a processor element network which connects the processor elements in an arbitrary state; and, a configuration control section, which supplies configuration data to the processor elements and to the processor element network, to configure the reconfiguration circuit unit in an arbitrary state. In response to reset, at least a portion of the reconfiguration circuit unit is configured as a memory initialization circuit which writes initial values to internal memory or to external memory, and, after completion of operation of the memory initialization circuit, the configuration control section begins supplying the configuration data.
