Image processing apparatus, image forming system and non-transitory computer readable medium that changes assignment process based on whether a DRP of a final stage in the DRPs is disconnected

An image forming system comprising:

• an image processing apparatus including:
• an assignment portion that, when a plurality of dynamic reconfigurable processors (DRPs) execute image processes by a pipeline process mode based on a print job, assigns identification numbers identifying the DRPs to the DRPs based on the number of DRPs;
• a first change portion that changes an assignment process by the assignment portion, based on whether a DRP of a final stage in the DRPs is connected to an outputting portion, the outputting portion outputting the results of the image processes to an outside;
• and
• a second change portion that, when the DRP of the final stage in the DRPs is disconnected from the outputting portion, further changes the assignment process by the assignment portion based on whether the DRPs are placed on only a single substrate;
• an outputting apparatus that outputs the print job to the image processing apparatus;
• and
• a forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet according to the output results of the image processing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer readable medium causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• assigning, when a plurality of dynamic reconfigurable processors (DRPs) execute image processes by a pipeline process mode based on a print job, identification numbers identifying the DRPs to the DRPs based on the number of DRPs;
• changing an assignment process by the assignment portion, based on whether a DRP of a final stage in the DRPs is connected to an outputting portion, the outputting portion outputting the results of the image processes to an outside;
• and
• further changing, when the DRP of the final stage in the DRPs is disconnected from the outputting portion, the assignment process by the assignment portion based on whether the DRPs are placed on only a single substrate.
