    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

Additionally, an nth increment (n=2, 3, . . . , N) is added to the data held in the nth accumulating register, and a result is written to the first to nth accumulating registers, every P.sub.n-1 P.sub.n-2 . . .
