Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus including a reconfigurable device, the image processing apparatus comprising: a first storage configured to store a plurality of configuration data items for configuring a circuit for realizing a predetermined function in the reconfigurable device, wherein each of the plurality of configuration data items is for arranging and wiring the circuit for realizing the predetermined function at a location in the reconfigurable device different to each other; an accumulating circuitry configured to obtain and accumulate operation information based on an operation time for the circuit for realizing the predetermined function, each time a job that uses the circuit for realizing the predetermined function is executed; and a reconfiguration circuitry configured to, when an accumulated value accumulated by the accumulating circuitry is greater than a threshold, control so as to configure the circuit for realizing the predetermined function in the reconfigurable device, by using, from the plurality of configuration data items corresponding to the circuit for realizing the predetermined function and stored in the first storage, another configuration data item other than a configuration data item that corresponds to the circuit configured in the reconfigurable device.
