    摘要: The present invention is directed to a program control unit which enables a program control to achieve an efficient loop processing which does not immediately follow a loop instruction and which contains a start address and end address. In the program control unit, the start address and end address of a loop processing are stored in a register (start) (7) and a register (end) (8), respectively, in synchronization with a clock t1. The stored data "start" of the register (7) and the stored data "end" of the register (8) are inputted to a comparator (12) and a comparator (11), respectively. The comparator (12) compares the output from a delay program counter (18) with the data "start", and sets a flag f start when the comparison result indicates agreement and otherwise resets it. The comparator (11) compares the output from a delay program counter (18) with the data "end", and sets a flag f end when the comparison result indicates agreement and otherwise resets it.

    摘要: An output FIFO data transfer control device can comprise a geometric arithmetic core including one integer processing unit or IPU and a plurality of floating-point processing units or FPUs. Each processing unit includes an intermediate buffer or data output buffer for storing a data on an arithmetic result. When an instruction of data transfer from at least one of the plurality of processing units to one output FIFO is issued, a write/read pointer generating unit generates a write pointer identifying a specific location where data on an arithmetic result associated with the instruction is to be stored in the intermediate buffer of at least one of the plurality of processing units. The write/read pointer generating unit also generates a read pointer identifying a specific location where data is to be read out of the intermediate buffer of at least one of the plurality of processing units. A transfer mode setting unit sets a transfer mode identifying which at least one of the plurality of processing units is to transfer data on an arithmetic result, and sequentially furnishes a read enable signal to at least one of the plurality of processing units so as to read out the data from the intermediate buffer of at least one of the plurality of processing units.
