    Abstract: The digital processor includes an instruction memory, a sequencer, a decoder, and a memory reference control circuit. In case the sequencer reads the external memory reference instruction, the memory reference control circuit serves to fetch an external memory reference instruction signal and an operand of the external memory reference signal delivered from the decoder, hold the operand until the external memory cycle executed by the external memory reference instruction is terminated, and release the operand when the cycle is terminated. The sequencer serves to have succeeding instructions read out continuously while the external memory reference instruction is being executed, and to concurrently execute the read-out instructions when the read-out instructions refer to resources not occupied by the external memory reference instruction, so as to execute the read-out instructions in parallel with the external memory reference instruction, thereby improving the throughput of the total processing.

    Abstract: This invention provides parallel partial image processing such as spatial convolution or non-linear neighbor arithmetic operation using an image processor which can easily be formed as a large-scale integrated circuit and can be used for various purposes. The image processor has an adder-subtractor, a multiplier, a reciprocal number memory in which the reciprocal of an address and the amount of shift are stored at each address, and a shift register. The processor therefore is capable of high-speed dividing operations by multiplying a multiplicant by the reciprocal of a multiplier and by shifting the result of the multiplication. Also, by switching the inputs to the adder-subtractor and to the multiplier rapidly under program control, it is possible to perform arbitrary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on partial image data of m rows and n columns stored in a partial image memory of the image processor.

    Abstract: An n-channel active region, a p-channel active region and an isolation insulating film are formed, and a silicon film is deposited via a gate insulating film. After introducing n-type impurities into the n-channel region and p-type impurities into the p-channel region, a silicon gate electrode is formed in such a manner that its width is enlarged only in the boundary portion between the n-channel region and the p-channel region. After forming a side wall insulating film, an n-channel diffusion layer and a p-channel diffusion layer, a metal silicide layer is formed in a self-aligned manner on the surfaces of the silicon gate electrode, the n-channel diffusion layer and the p-channel diffusion layer.

The scalar processing unit 101 comprises a scalar bus input enabling the scalar processing unit 101 to refer scalar registers in the vector processing units 102. The program controlled processor has improved data processing performance because parallel vector instructions are operated in parallel in the vector processing units of block data distributed by the vector distributor.
