Abstract
An information processing apparatus which circulates a packet in one way among a plurality of modules connected in a ring shape, and transmits/receives the packet, each of the plurality of modules comprising a determination unit to determine whether data contained in the packet is processing-data to be processed by a processing-module of the module or configuration data for changing settings of the processing-module by an internally contained command, a discrimination unit to discriminate, when the data is determined to be the configuration data, a command type indicating the type of command contained within the configuration data as a write-mode in which the configuration data is written in the module, a read-mode in which currently set configuration data held in the module is read out, or an exchange-mode in which the currently set configuration data is read out, and then the configuration data is written, a decision unit to decide a packet transmission interval based on the command type.
