Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of information processing units that are connected in stages. Each of the information processing units comprises a plurality of processing units configured to process information and output a processing result and an integration unit configured to input the processing result of one or a plurality of the processing units and output the processing result after integrating the processing result, and changes a connection relation between the output of the processing result from the processing units and the input to the integration unit.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of information processing units connected in stages;
- wherein at least one of the information processing units comprises a plurality of processing units configured to process information and output a processing result;
- an integration unit configured to input processing results of more than one of the processing units as an input and integrate the input processing results;
- and
- a change unit configured to change a connection relation between the output of the processing units and the input to the integration unit based on a processing load.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of information processing units connected in stages,
- wherein at least one of a plurality of processing units is assigned to a respective one of the plurality of information processing units, each of the processing units configured to process information and output a processing result;
- a detection unit configured to detect a processing load of the plurality of processing units;
- and
- a change unit configured to change assignment of the plurality of processing units to the plurality of information processing units based on the detected processing load.
