ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus with programmable function and self-repair function which can deal with multiple troubles the information processing apparatus includes a logic processing unit formed of logic forming elements for realizing a predetermined function; spare logic processing units that can be reconfigured of logic forming elements to reproduce the predetermined function of the logic processing unit; a data holding unit for holding forming data in the logic processing unit; a fault detecting unit for detecting a fault occurrence in the logic processing unit; and a reconfiguring unit for reconfiguring the spare logic processing unit having a logic circuit configuration similar to the logic processing unit, based on configuration data read out of the data holding unit, when the fault detecting unit detects a fault occurrence. The information processing apparatus can automatically reconfigure the system to reproduce its original normal function of a faulty forming element.
