In a program control type processor for executing plural instructions including a vector pipeline instruction including a data processor for executing a pipeline operation, there is provided a program controller including a program memory, a program counter and a decoder, and is further provided an address generator and a data memory. When the vector pipeline instruction is read out from the program memory and is decoded by the decoder, the program controller stops the program counter and outputs a start signal, and thereafter, controls an operation of the data processor according to the contents of the vector pipeline instruction. The data processor executes the pipeline operation for the data outputted from the data memory by being controlled by the program controller, and the program controller detects completion of the pipeline operation performed in response to the vector pipeline instruction a predetermined number of cycles after receiving the end signal, and thereafter, sequentially executes instructions following the vector pipeline instruction.

Two sets of input data A and B are provided. A first selector circuit outputs either the most significant bit of the input data B or the inversion thereof, in accordance with a control signal which has been sent thereto through a control line. An adder adds 1 to the least significant bit of the input data B, and also adds the output from the first selector circuit to all the other bits thereof. A zero-judgment circuit judges whether the input data B is 0 or not, and then, if it is 0, sets a flag to a predetermined value. A selector-control circuit allows a second selector circuit to select the input data B in the case where the least significant bit of the input data A is 1 or the flag from the zero-judgment circuit is set to the predetermined value, and to select, in the other cases, the output from the adder. In this manner, a conditional branch operation required for quantization and inverse quantization of data is executed at high speed, which operation involves either adding 1 to or subtracting 1 from the input data B to output the result, or outputting the input data B, depending on whether the input data B is positive, negative or zero, and also depending on whether the input data A is an even number or an odd number.

A 32-bit processor control unit receives from a memory an instruction. The control unit then determines whether the received instruction is intended for a 32-bit processor or for a 16-bit processor. If the received instruction is analyzed to be a 32-bit processor instruction, the control unit controls the 32-bit processor with the aid of two 16-bit instruction control units. If the received instruction is a 16-bit processor instruction, the 32-bit processor control unit sends a 16-bit processor mode signal to each of the 16-bit instruction control units. One of the two 16-bit instruction control units controls one of two 16-bit processors which are divisions of the 32-bit processor while the other 16-bit instruction control unit controls the other 16-bit processor. The present invention makes it possible to have a single, wide bitwidth processor serve as a plurality of narrow bitwidth processors depending upon the type of processing. Various operations can be performed in parallel, thereby improving processor performance.

According to the present invention, a method for changing a program including a plurality of instructions in a processor having a ROM for storing the program therein is provided. The method includes the steps of: replacing one of the plurality of instructions which are stored in the ROM with data having a predetermined value; and interpreting the data having the predetermined value as an instruction.

According to the present invention, during the execution of a series of processes in an ordinary program, if a process being executed is suspended by the interrupt of another process, it is judged, upon completion of the execution of the interrupt process, whether a return to the above suspended process in the ordinary program is to be made or a branch return to another process is to be made, depending on the result of the interrupt process. Consequently, if the resumption of the suspended process in the ordinary program becomes no more necessary depending on the result of the interrupt process, another required process can be initiated immediately without resuming the unnecessary process.

A hydraulic valve lifter is used in the valve train of an internal combustion engine to take up the lash on operating clearance in the valve train. The valve lifter is comprised of a first cylindrical body member having a top wall, a second cylindrical body member slidably mounted within the first body member and having a bottom wall, a plunger member slidably mounted within the second body member for defining a reservoir chamber and a pressure chamber, a guide member of thick, rigid material fixed in the first body member for guiding the second body member, and a channel member of thin light weight material fixed between the first body member and the guide member for defining an oil channel connected to the reservoir chamber.

A self-contained hydraulic lash adjuster having a cup-shaped body and a plunger slidably disposed therein is further provided with a flexible diaphragm secured within a reservoir chamber located in the plunger with one side of said diaphragm being exposed to the atmosphere and the other side being disposed in engagement with the oil supply sealed within the hydraulic lash adjuster. An oil passage is provided in the bottom of the plunger to communicate the reservoir chamber with a pressure chamber defined between the bottom of the plunger and the bottom of the body and a one-way check valve is provided to prevent the return flow of oil through the oil passage to the reservoir. A cup-shaped cover member having apertured side walls is located in the bottom of the plunger over the oil passage to prevent the diaphragm from blocking the oil passage upon deformation of the diaphragm.
