Abstract:
A semiconductor device (1) includes a first processing unit (10-1), a second processing unit (10-2), a writing unit (12), a storage unit (14), and a processing control unit (20). The writing unit (12) writes first information related to processing of each of the first processing unit (10-1) and the second processing unit (10-2) into the storage unit (14). The processing control unit (20) controls the operations of the first processing unit (10-1) and the second processing unit (10-2). The processing control unit (20) performs control to stop the first processing unit (10-1) when an error occurs in the first processing unit (10-1). When it is determined that the second processing unit (10-2) where an error has not occurred is able to maintain execution of the first processing by using first information stored in the storage unit (14), the second processing unit (10-2) maintains execution of the first processing.
