INFORMATION PROCESSOR AND VIRTUAL CIRCUIT WRITING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and high performance computer for a large-scaled arithmetic operation which can be used for individuals. SOLUTION: A information processor includes: a memory for storing an application program for performing a prescribed arithmetic operation about an arithmetic object; an arithmetic unit array 40 configured of a plurality of arithmetic units arranged so as to be connected to directly perform data communication between the adjacent arithmetic units correspondingly to each problematic region of the arithmetic object, and configured to transmit/receive arithmetic result data about each problematic region between the adjacent arithmetic units, wherein arithmetic circuits to be used for executing the application program are reconfigured to perform an arithmetic operation corresponding to each problematic region; a host processor for executing the application program, and for acquiring arithmetic result data about each problematic region from each arithmetic unit configuring the arithmetic device array 40, and for calculating the arithmetic result of the arithmetic object; and a bus for communicating data among the memory, host processor and the arithmetic unit array 40.
