Abstract
A reconfigurable circuit and control method therefor, capable of enhancing efficiency of implementation of a pipeline process in processing elements and improve processing performance. Processing elements are reconfigured to form a circuit based on configuration information and execute a prescribed process. Memory units store configuration information for the processing elements. A memory switching unit switches the plurality of memory units to store therein the configuration information on the stages of a pipeline process to be performed by the processing elements. A configuration information output unit switches the memory units to output therefrom the configuration information to the plurality of processing elements.
