摘要:
There is provided an apparatus including a plurality of modules. Each module includes a storage unit configured to store a waiting ID and a specific ID of the module, a communication unit configured to transmit and receive packets to and from a bus, and a processing unit configured to process data of a packet which includes a valid flag indicating that the packet is valid, wherein the communication unit takes in data held by a packet which has an ID that coincides with the waiting ID, and stores the processed data in a packet which includes the valid flag indicating invalid and an ID coincident with the specific ID, and transmits the packet.

An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of modules connected in a ring shape via a bus, and each module processes a packet flowing in a single direction on the ring in a predetermined order. The module includes a communication unit for transmitting a packet received from a first direction in the ring via the bus to a second direction, a discrimination unit for discriminating a packet from among the packets received from the first direction as a processing packet to be processed by the module, and a processing unit which is connected with the communication unit one by one and configured to process the processing packet. The communication unit transmits the packet processed by the processing unit at an interval equivalent to processing time or more for a processing packet processed by a module in a latter stage in the predetermined order among packets transmitted by the communication unit to the second direction.

An image data combining apparatus combines m lines of image data that have been output from a reading unit. The reading unit outputs m lines of image data based upon the pixel data that has been output upon being divided into the plurality of lines, and stored then in a memory. An upper address for accessing the memory is decided based upon first data indicating position, along the sub-scan direction, of an image that has been read by the reading unit, and a lower address for accessing the memory is decided based upon second data indicating position of the image along the main-scan direction. For the lower address utilizes values in which the sequence of a plurality of bits constituting the first data is interchanged, so that p items of pixel data at a time are extracted successively from each of the m lines of image data.

摘要:
A decoding apparatus acquires, from encoded data, a piece of additional bits that have been partly cut off, acquires, from the piece of the additional bits, the number of bits that are missing due to the cutting off as the number of missing bits, and restores the additional bits by reproducing the missing bits.

In order to form a high-quality image, upon execution of multi-pass printing using a printing head with a plurality of nozzles, an image processing apparatus calculates, using a scan duty setting unit, scan duty data for respective nozzles for each scan of the printing head in accordance with input image data. A halftone processor generates a dot pattern to be formed by applying N-ary processing based on predetermined constraining condition information to the calculated scan duty data. A constraining, condition information calculation unit generates constraining condition information to be referred to by the halftone processor at the time of the next scan. The constraining condition information is set so that the phase of a next dot pattern to be generated has an opposite phase relationship in a low frequency region with respect, to the already printed dot pattern.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus for processing image data by a plurality of pipeline-connected processing modules is provided. The apparatus includes a first pipeline processing unit configured to include a plurality of processing modules including a processing module which processes image data for every first size; and a second pipeline processing unit configured to be branched from the first pipeline processing unit and include a plurality of processing modules including a processing module which processes image data for every second size different from the first size. The second pipeline processing unit includes, at a start, a change unit configured to acquire partial image data of the first size from the first pipeline processing unit and change the partial image data of the first size into partial image data of the second size.
摘要:
In an information-processing apparatus including a plurality of modules and a first arbiter which arbitrates bus-access requests of the plurality of modules, at least one of the plurality of modules includes a plurality of submodules and a second arbiter which arbitrates bus-access requests of the plurality of submodules and transmits at least one of the bus-access requests of the plurality of submodules to the first arbiter. The first arbiter gives priority to the module which transmits many bus-access requests, or the module which made a previous bus access, and limits the number of consecutive accesses made by the same module, so as to control the priority of accessing the bus by the plurality of modules. The second arbiter controls priority of accessing the bus by the plurality of submodules according to the free state of a buffer of each submodule, or the access type, whereby the bus-access requests made by the plurality of modules can be arbitrated, thus increasing bus-use efficiency.
