Abstract
A processor includes a programmable logic circuit provided with a plurality of processing units. The programmable logic circuit is capable of reconfiguring a first logic circuit corresponding to first circuit configuration information according to a first process and a second logic circuit corresponding to second circuit configuration information according to a second process. Each of the first and second logic circuits includes an information holding unit. A first control circuit stores the second circuit configuration information in the information holding unit of the first logic circuit and generates an execution control signal for executing the first process. A second control circuit obtains the second circuit configuration information from the information holding unit of the first logic circuit in response to completion of the first process and controls the programmable logic circuit so as to reconfigure the second logic circuit corresponding to the second circuit configuration information.
