  • Patent number: 10768976
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a programmable circuit that configures circuits for executing tasks. The apparatus estimates an execution time-period required for executing a first task by first circuits configured in the programmable circuit, and determines a configuration number indicating a number of second circuits that are to be configured, in the programmable circuit, for executing a second task to be executed after the first task, based on the execution time-period and a configuration time-period required for configuring the configuration number of the second circuits in the programmable circuit. The apparatus causes the programmable circuit to configure, during execution of the first task, the configuration number of the second circuits, and adjusts the configuration number, based on a relationship between a time at which the first task is completed and a time at which configuration of the configuration number of the second circuits in the programmable circuit is completed.
