System for managing circuitry of variable function information processing circuit and method for managing circuitry of variable function information processing circuit

Abstract

Configuration management information having circuit configuration information for altering a circuit configuration of an FPGA () is stored in a memory (), the configuration management information according to information related to an instruction group, which is supplied by a configuration management unit () from the outside via a signal line group (), is read from the memory (), and the circuit configuration of the FPGA () is altered according to the read configuration management information to execute processing of the instruction group so that information processing by software is replaced by information processing by hardware in real time, which increases execution speed of information processing and shortens verification time of software, enabling software development in a shorter period and with higher efficiency.
