摘要:
An array-type computer processor obtains data of a predetermined number of cooperative partial instruction codes, and operates with temporarily holding only a predetermined number of data-obtained instruction codes, from an external program memory which stores data of a computer program. Every time the operations with the temporarily-held instruction codes are complete, the subsequent instruction codes are data obtained, so that the operation according to a computer program can be performed even if the data volume of the computer program is over the storage capacity.

An array-type computer processor including a data path unit communicating with a state control unit obtains data of a predetermined number of cooperative partial instruction codes, and operates with temporarily holding only a predetermined number of data-obtained instruction codes comprising cooperative partial instruction codes corresponding to contexts and operation states for the data path unit and the state control unit, respectively, from an external program memory which stores data of a computer program. Every time the operations with the temporarily-held instruction codes, including the corresponding cooperative partial instruction codes, are complete, in accordance with event data entered in the state control unit, the subsequent instruction codes are data obtained as cooperative partial instruction codes respectively corresponding to contexts and operating states, so that the operation according to a computer program can be performed even if the data volume of the computer program is over the storage capacity of the data path unit and the state control unit.

An array-type computer processor stops, with a plurality of computer programs held, a state control unit and a data-path unit, upon input of event data for task switching. The array-type computer processor obtains the operation state of the state control unit and the processed data of the data-path unit when stopped, and temporarily holds them for each of a plurality of the computer programs. Upon completion of this, the array-type computer processor reads the operation state and processed data of any other computer program and sets them in the state control unit and data-path unit. Upon completion of this, the array-type computer processor outputs to the state control unit the event data for starting the operation. The state control unit then starts to sequentially transfer the operation state, thereby making it possible to perform the process operations according to a plurality of computer programs in a time-sharing manner.

A multiplicity of processor elements, which both individually execute data processing in accordance with instruction codes that have been set as data and for which mutual connection relations are switch-controlled, are arranged in matrix form, and the instruction codes of this multiplicity of processor elements are successively switched by a state control unit. The state control units are composed of a plurality of units that intercommunicate to realize linked operation, and the multiplicity of processor elements is divided into a number of element areas that corresponds to the number of state control units. The plurality of state control units are arranged for each of the plurality of element areas and are connected to the processor elements, whereby the plurality of state control units can individually control a plurality of small-scale state transitions, or the plurality of state control units can cooperate to control a single large-scale state transition.

A multiplicity of processor elements that are arranged in rows and columns individually execute data processing in accordance with instruction codes that are individually set as data and supply event data as output. A state control unit is composed of a plurality of units that successively switch the instruction codes of the multiplicity of processor elements in accordance with a computer program and the event data, these state control units communicating with each other to realize linked operation as necessary. An event distributing means distributes event data to this plurality of state control units that intercommunicate to realize linked operation, whereby the plurality of state control units can realize linked operation to control a large-scale state transition.
