In a semiconductor memory device wherein a plurality of memory cell units formed by connecting a plurality of memory cells in series are provided and each of the memory cell units is connected to a bit line, the semiconductor memory device comprises control circuit for directly reading data of a register cell during a reading operation when the previous row address designates the same memory cell as the present row address, and a data changing controlling circuit for changing data of an arbitrary memory cell of the memory cell unit to data of the memory cell closest to the bit line contact in the memory cell unit, and a row decoder for corresponding row addresses which select the memory of memory cell units, to the upper addresses than the parts of the row addresses which select a memory unit among the memory cell units.

A cache memory device comprises a data cache memory, an instruction cache memory, an instruction code area change detector, and an instruction code change processor. The instruction code area change detector decides whether writing access to the data cache memory by the processor is to a data area or to an instruction area of a main memory. The instruction code change processor passes the data cache memory to perform direct writing into the main memory when the writing access is to the instruction area, and, when data for a processor address is cached in a tag section of the instruction cache memory, invalidates the effective flag of the tag section.

A register device includes a register set group, a switching control unit, a write control unit, a write flag memory unit, and a read control unit. The register set group consists of a plurality of register sets each constituted by a plurality of registers. The switching control unit selects a register set to be used in processing from the register set group in response to a saving/recovery instruction. The write control unit writes data in registers of the register set selected by the switching control unit in response to a write instruction. A write flag representing whether data is written in each of the registers is held by the write flag memory unit. The read control unit determines, in response to a read instruction, a register in which data is written most recently of a plurality of registers corresponding to each other between the register sets with reference to the write flags, thereby reading out data from the register.

Each register of an internal register unit of a microprocessor has a pair of register cells consisting of first and second cells having the same register address. When one of these cells is selected, the other cell non-selected serves as a "back-up cell" for the selected cell. Each register of the register unit has a flag bit for storing a selector flag representing which cell of the pair of cells of the register is currently selected, and a flag bit for storing a change flag representing whether register information of the register is rewritten after a selected cell is changed between the first and second cells of the register. When the register information is stored in one of the pair of cells currently being selected of a certain register and is to be rewritten with another new information, the other cell of the register is selected to store the new information therein. The original register information is held in the first cell, thereby eliminating necessity of saving the original register information to a main memory at this stage. When the original register information is required again, the original register information can be rapidly restored, by only selecting the first cell again, in the corresponding register without executing save/restore processing between the register unit and the main memory.

In a motor-driven steering apparatus structured such that a motor-driven steering assist unit is interposed between a steering shaft in a handle side and a wheel side steering member, and an input shaft connected to the steering shaft of the motor-driven steering assist unit and an output shaft connected to the wheel side steering member are coupled by a torsion bar and arranged on the same center axis, reference angle position marks are applied to portions existing at the same angle position around the same center axis of the input shaft and the output shaft, in a neutral steering state in which a steering force is not applied to the input shaft of the motor-driven steering assist unit.

A parallel processing type processor system with trap and stall control functions capable of operating without increasing the cycle time, such that the lowering of the clock frequency in the system can be prevented. In the system, the processor units are controlled such that when an exception is caused in an execution of at least one of the instructions supplied to the processor units concurrently, the processings of all of the instructions supplied to the processor units concurrently are aborted. In addition, the processings of the instructions supplied to the processor units concurrently are stalled when it is not possible to deny a possibility for an occurrence of an exception in the execution of the instructions supplied to the processor units concurrently.

The branch prediction using a branch prediction table formed by an associative memory which is applicable to a super scalar processor without causing confusion in the branch prediction. The branch prediction uses a branch prediction table for registering entries, each entry including a branching address, a branch target address, and an instruction position indicating a position of the predicted branch instruction in group of instructions to be executed concurrently, or an entry address indicating a position of each entry in the associative memory of the table. A correctness of the predicted branch instruction is checked by using actual branch target address and/or actual instruction position of actual branch instruction encountered in the actual execution of presently fetched instructions. When the predicted branch instruction is incorrect, instructions fetched at a next processing timing are invalidated and the entry in the table is rewritten.

A three-dimensional graphic processing apparatus includes n arithmetic ICs (Integrated Circuits) for performing linear interpolation calculations for each scan line of a triangle polygon to obtain intensity values and depth coordinate values of pixels, and two types of n memories for storing the calculation results. The n arithmetic ICs parallelly execute linear interpolation calculations of n different pixels successive on a single scan line of a single triangle polygon in one processing cycle. Each arithmetic IC calculates for each of every n pixels in one processing cycle, and a corresponding one of the memories stores the calculation result.

A braking device for an elevator winding machine generates a braking force by contacting a rotary body driven by a rotary shaft of the winding machine with a brake section supported through the intermediary of an elastic body. The elastic body has a nonlinear elastic characteristic so that a starting shock to the passengers in the elevator car is prevented and the braking torque detecting accuracy is improved.
