RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUIT HAVING A PIPELINE STRUCTURE FOR CARRYING OUT TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE PROCESSING

The reconfigurable circuit of the present invention in which time division multiple processing is possible has a pipeline structure with the number of stages of an integral multiple of a given number, and comprises a plurality of processor elements having a processing unit whose configuration is variable according to first configuration data to be supplied, a network in which all inputs and outputs of a plurality of said processor elements are connected and which transfers data by one clock between the input and output according to second configuration data to be supplied, and a switching unit which cyclically switches by one clock and supplies the first and second configuration data prepared for the given number of tasks to each of the processing units.
