    摘要: A reconfigurable processor in which an application can be switched more freely. A switching condition associating section associates output from a plurality of arithmetic and logic unit modules used as switching conditions for switching the operation of an arithmetic and logic unit group with a plurality of states indicative of switching condition codes. When a switching condition code output section decides that a switching condition comes into existence on the basis of the output from the plurality of arithmetic and logic unit modules set as the switching conditions, the switching condition code output section outputs a switching condition code corresponding to the switching condition which comes into existence. When a sequencer accepts the switching condition code, the sequencer switches the arithmetic and logic unit group to a state corresponding to the switching condition code.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of memories, a sequencer which outputs configuration information, and a memory reconfiguring circuit which reconfigures the memory area in accordance with the configuration information supplied from the sequencer. Since the memory reconfiguring circuit dynamically changes the allocation of the memories, it is possible to reconfigure the memory configuration and freely change the memory size in accordance with the purpose of use.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a configuration memory for storing configuration data, an arithmetic unit whose circuit configuration can be reconfigured in accordance with the configuration data, and a fixed value memory for storing fixed value data to be supplied to the arithmetic unit. Since the configuration data and fixed value data to be supplied to the arithmetic unit are stored in the different memories, no data area for storing the fixed value data need be set in the configuration memory. This makes it possible to supply a predetermined fixed value to the arithmetic unit by storing only information for reading out fixed value data from the fixed value memory.

    摘要: A reconfigurable operation apparatus consists of a plurality of operation units capable of reconfiguring themselves by using a piece of given first configuration data and of operating simultaneously with one another; RAMs; diverse processor elements required for constituting an operation apparatus; an inter-resource network interconnecting the operation units, the RAMs and the diverse processor elements, performing data transfers between resources connected thereto in a uniform transfer time independent of positions and kinds of the resources, and being reconfigurable by using a given second configuration data; and a configuration memory storing the first and the second configuration data. Configuration data is loaded from an external storage apparatus onto the configuration memory, and the first and the second configuration data are supplied to the reconfigurable processor resources in appropriate sequence and timing based on data available from a plurality of operation units.
