COMPUTATION CIRCUIT, COMPUTATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMPUTATION CIRCUIT DESIGN METHOD

摘要

A computation circuit (40) performs computation processing on input data (42). The computation processing on the input data includes m processing steps which can be processed in parallel to each other. The computation processing amount of each of the m processing steps differs from the computation processing amount of at least one of the remaining processing steps. The computation circuit (40) comprises: n computing units (44) that execute the m processing steps, where n is an integer greater than 1 and less than m; and a control processor (32). The control processor (32) randomly allocates each of the m processing steps to one of the n computing units (44) on the basis of a random number.
