    摘要: Image and sound data stored in an optical disc unit having an medium auto-changer mechanism are read out and temporarily stored in a hard disk unit, after then supplied to a user's terminal unit via a memory which serves as an output buffer. The image and sound data are stored in the memory, by compressing and a time length required to read out the data is shorter than a reproduction time in the user's terminal unit, and therefore plural data are read out by a difference between a readout time and the reproduction time. Since write operation to the hard disk unit and readout operation from the hard disk unit to write to the main memory 3 are simultaneously carried out, plural hard disk units are disposed and accessed in parallel. Moreover, a unit of data in write operation is larger than a unit of data in readout operation in the hard disk unit.

    摘要: A parallel processing system enabling a mixed transfer of packets of different lengths is achieved.The data transfer apparatus in this parallel processing system comprises four address controllers. During the first data transfer the third address controller is used for sending and the first address controller is used for receiving data. During the second transfer, the fourth address controller is used for sending, and the second address controller is used for receiving.When the first and second transfer operations are mixed, the first and second address controllers are selectively used during receiving, and the third and fourth address controllers are selectively used during sending. Each of the address controllers changes the address only after packet transfer is completed. The header of the packet contains a packet length field, which is interpreted to enable simultaneous, dynamic handling of plural packets of different lengths.As a result, packets can be transferred without deadlocks occurring even when packets of different lengths are mixed.

    摘要: A data readout time adjuster to be used for a video-on-demand system includes the following units. A readout time adjusting data storage unit stores image data for adjusting readout time to be provided to subscribers who have not been assigned the readout right and are waiting for a start of a readout operation. The image data for adjusting readout time cause no inconvenience even if a transmission of the image data is interrupted any time. A readout start position check unit checks an expected time of an occurrence of the readout right and a readout start position at the expected time in response to an additional data transmission request. A readout control unit makes at least one of the readout unit and a private readout unit exclusively provided or the readout time adjusting data storage unit read the image data for adjusting readout time stored in the readout time adjusting data storage unit until the time of the occurrence of the readout right, for the subscribers who have checked the expected time and the readout start position. A readout time adjusting data transmission control unit controls the transmission unit to transmit the image data for adjusting readout time read by the readout control unit to the subscribers who are waiting for the readout right until the time of the occurrence of the readout right.

    摘要: A parallel processing system consists of a plurality of processor elements and a network for connecting the processor elements to each other. The processor includes a processor, a memory and a data transfer apparatus, all connected to a common bus. The data transfer apparatus includes of three buffers, while a data relay includes two buffers. In data transfer from a processor element to another processor element, a data is relayed in a third processor element only with use of a buffer, or a write/read operation is not performed in the third processor element. Then, the overhead is decreased and the transfer capability is improved. Further, the data transfer apparatus does not access the common bus, so that the width of the bus can be increased, and the processing performance of the processor can be improved.

    摘要: At data transfer, a processor sends an address to an address bus and sends a data to a data bus. In a transfer control unit, a comparator compares an outside address signal inputted via the address bus with an inside address signal generated in an address generating part. When the signals coincide with each other, the comparator outputs a coincidence signal. Receiving the coincidence signal, a control part sends a write signal to a buffer and a data on the data bus is stored in the buffer. The address generating part proceeds to a next address according to the write signal. The data in the buffer is sent outside from a port thereafter. Thus, a program for high-speed data transfer is easily programmed with an ordinary code of a processor for general purpose.

    摘要: A first-in first-out memory device for storing a series of numeral signals includes a comparator for comparing each input numeral signal with a preselected numeral signal, and for producing a matching signal when the input numeral signal is the same as the preselected numeral signal, and an unmatching signal when the input numeral signal is not the same as the preselected numeral signal. An up-counter counts the number of repetition of the matching signal. When the input numeral signal is other than the preselected numeral signal, a tag signal representing the numeral signal is produced and, at the same time, a data signal representing the value of the numeral signal is produced. When the input numeral signal is the preselected numeral signal, such as zero, a tag signal representing repetition number signal is produced and, at the same time, the data signal representing the number of repetition of zeros is produced. Such a pair of tag signal and data signal is stored in a memory.
