摘要： The data driven type information processing system has a branch unit and a junction unit in the input and output stages thereof, and includes a plurality of data driven type processors between the branch unit and the junction unit. The branch unit, the junction unit and the plurality of data driven type processors are coupled to one another via transmission paths. Each of the data driven type processors can process a unique instruction system. The junction unit collects data packets provided via the transmission paths and outputs the collected data packets to the outside of the system. In operation, when a data packet is provided to the system, the branch unit receives the data packet provided thereto and, according to an instruction code within the received data packet, selects a transmission path connected to a data driven type processor that can process an instruction system corresponding to the instruction code, and sends out the received data packet to the selected transmission path. Upon reception of the data packet via the transmission path, each of the data driven type processors processes the received data packet in a prescribed manner, and, according to the result of the processing and based on the instruction code within the obtained data packet, selects a transmission path connected to a data driven type processor that can process the instruction system corresponding to the instruction code, and sends out the data packet to the selected transmission path.

摘要： A data transfer control unit for controlling data transfer between a main processing part executing information processing and a memory part accessed by the main processing part has a bit width control part for controlling the bit width of the transferred data so that a first bit width of a port for data input/output on the main processing part side is matched with a second bit width, which is narrower than the first bit width, of a port for data input/output on the memory part side. This bit width control part has a function of converting the bit width of the data to the second bit width in case of data transfer from the main processing part to the memory part and a function of converting the same to the first bit width in case of data transfer from the memory part to the main processing part. Thus, the capacity of the memory part can be reduced by adjusting the bit width of the data transferred between the main processing part and the memory part.

摘要： A data-driven information processing device includes a program storage mechanism, a data pair generation mechanism, an operation processing mechanism, a circular pipeline for data transfer among the program storage mechanism, the pair data generation mechanism and the operation processing mechanism in a token format, and a data input/output control circuit connected to the circular pipeline. The data pair generation mechanism carries out a generation process of a data pair in a different manner depending upon whether the argument data companion to the argument data in an applied token is a constant or not. The data pair generation mechanism may include, for example, a constant data processing unit and a dynamic data pair generation mechanism. The data pair generation mechanism selects constant data output from the constant data processing unit when the argument data companion to the argument data in an applied token is a constant, and selects the argument data companion to an output of the dynamic data pair generation mechanism otherwise. The selected data is used to assemble a token. A plurality of dynamic data pair generation mechanisms are included, and an apparatus is disclosed for operating the dynamic data pair generation mechanism in an interleaving manner.

摘要： A data packet, having a flag for determination of its processing content, a tag field and a data field, is sequentially transferred between pipeline registers according to pulses from C elements. A determination is made as to whether the tag field of the data packet includes information identical to that pre-stored in a tag field of a register within a processing content determination unit. Based on the determination result, the data packet is processed according to the information stored in a processing content determination field of the register.

摘要： A branching control unit includes a logic gate and a NAND circuit that can receive transfer permission for each branching designation. The branching control unit further includes a transfer request unit receiving respective outputs of the logic gate and NAND circuit. The transfer request unit sends a data transfer request to a branching designation when the logic gate or NAND circuit is rendered active. Since transfer permission can be received for each branching designation to send a transfer request, a data waiting state depending upon the data holding state of another branching destination will no longer occur. Thus, a data driven type information processing apparatus and method of transferring a data packet at higher speed in a data transmission path can be provided.

摘要： A data driven information processor includes a main body processing portion for processing a data packet, a start register storing information for use in determining whether to continue to process the data packet output from the main body processing portion or output externally, and a branch portion for determining whether to provide the output of the main body processing portion to the main body processing portion or to the output processing portion based on the content of the register and the content of the data packet and branching the data packet. The branch portion has a duplicating function to produce a duplicate of the data packet for provision to the output processing portion if it determines the data packet should continue to be processed by the main body processing portion.

摘要： A method and device for configuring data packets for a data driven processor, the data driven information processor having a data packet producing device that produces the data packets, and a data flow ring architecture for operating (according to data flow computational protocol) upon data packets received from the data packet producing device. The data packet producing device configures each data packet to include a multidimensional generation number. The multidimensional generation number has at least two components, enabling it to identify at least two things to the data flow ring architecture. The first component identifies a generation to which data contained in the data packet belongs. The second component identifies an additional attribute of the data contained in the data packet. Where the data driven information processor is doing image processing: the first component of the multidimensional generation number is the field/image number; and the second component of the multidimensional generation number is the location of a pixel in the field/image, thus the pixel location is the additional attribute. The second component can be represented in two parts, the first part being the line of the image in which the pixel is located and the second part being the column in which the pixel is located.

摘要： A data driven type information processor includes a control unit having a function of storing a data flow program and accessing it, and a function of producing an operand data pair, the control unit further including one memory shared by both functions. When a program is executed, program data per 1 accessing to the memory and operand data related to the program data are read out simultaneously and applied to an operation unit. Accordingly, a program memory and a memory for queuing operand data, which, were separately provided in a conventional technique, are combined into a single mechanism. Thereby, the number of stages of processing in program execution in the information processor is reduced and increase in program execution speed is permitted.
