PURPOSE:To reduce communication overhead between element processors (PE), and to execute the parallel processing of sum of products operation in short operation delay time in a parallel processor. CONSTITUTION:The PE 1 is provided with a multiplier 2, an adder 3, a local memory 4, and a switch circuit 5, and the switch circuits 5 in each PE 1 are coupled by a mutual coupling network such as a ring connection network 6, etc. By switching connection in the switch circuit 5, a sum of products computing element containing various number of the multipliers 2 is formed dynamically of plural PEs 1, and the parallel processing of the sum of products operation is executed. |
