摘要:
A data transmission apparatus which is connected with a shift register of a plural stages forming a forward path of data transmission line, and a shift register of a plural stages forming a backward path of the same, and a loop-back part therebetween, and comprises bypasses between the shift register on the forward path and on the backward path to bypass the transmitted data when significant data does not exist on the loop-back part side from a stage on which the bypass is comprised and no data stays at a stage where the bypass is comprised, so that data is transmitted at high speed, and which is constructed to be able to control the bypass from external, so that testing of circuitry is easy.

A pipelined processor is provided with a plurality of control stages controlling a datapath made up of a plurality of parallel static-type data latches. The latches each include a feedback circuit, typically a field-effect transistor, which is enabled by a data latch control signal from a particular control stage. Enabling the feedback stage consumes power. A data stagnation detection circuit detects a data stagnation in the datapath, by use of handshake control signals exchanged between the control stages. The data stagnation detection circuit inhibits enablement of the feedback circuit when no data stagnation is detected, reducing power used in the latch.

In a data flow machine, a program stored in advance is read out based on a tag included in a packet when the packet including first data is inputted from an external portion. Then, an instruction packet is formed by the content read out as a new tag and the first data, so that the instruction packet is outputted. Second data including the same tag as that included in the first data of the instruction packet read out from the program memory is detected. Firing processing is performed with respect to the first data and the second data as a pair and arithmetic processing is performed according to the instruction as a part of the tag included in an arithmetic packet, so that the arithmetic packet is outputted as a packet. The tag included in the packet is determined and the packet is outputted to an external portion or is inputted again to the internal portion.

A data-driven processor which has a packet assembling unit to add a tag information to the sequentially inputted data when the input data has no tag information, such as destination address or the like, thereby enabling the data to be inputted without using an external circuit, such as a host processor, and improving the data input rate and which also has a packet outputting and rearranging unit for rearranging an output packet stream in a predetermined order to thereby output the data information only, so that it is possible that the data is outputted without any external circuit, such as a host processor, the output rate is improved and the data output is executed in a predetermined order.

摘要:
A hand-shake type control circuit for controlling a data transfer circuit according to the status of a data transfer request signal. The data transfer request signal is initially received at a NAND gate and is also directly coupled to the reset input of are set flip-flop. The output of the NAND gate is used as a first control signal to set the flip-flop and to cause another circuit to activate data transfer. The flip-flop output is a second control signal which is reset only when the transfer request signal changes from an active to an inactive status. The second control signal is coupled to an input of the NAND gate and inactivates the first control signal. Thus, data transfer cannot recur until after the data transfer request signal changes to an inactive status so that parasitic oscillations are eliminated. The flip-flop consists of two, two input NAND gates that are located out of the path of data transfer and that are easier to fabricate than the prior art D flip-flop.

A tag data processing apparatus is described for use in a data flow computer utilizing a tagged token scheme. A tag adding process and tag restoring process are executed by using pipeline registers, a queue memory and simple control circuit, thereby obtaining high speed operation and superior throughput without the need for a tag memory table, complicated operation-test circuitry or a sequence control circuit.
