Circuit configuration information for configuring the reconfigurable circuit is stored in advance, pieces of stored circuit configuration information that correspond to functions necessary for executing a job are specified, and the necessary functions are partially reconfigured in the reconfigurable circuit by configuring partial reconfiguration units of the reconfigurable circuit using the specified pieces of circuit configuration information. If the reconfiguring is successful, the job is executed using the reconfigurable circuit, whereas if the reconfiguring fails, reconfiguring is re-executed.
