PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently detect a processor having a maximum/minimum value in plural pieces of comparison object data, which plural processors on the same semiconductor device have, at high speed. SOLUTION: From respective processors 200, the comparison object data stored there are broadcasted through internal output data common bus 118, selectors 111 and 112 and internal input data common bus 119 to the other processors. A computing element in each processor 200 executes comparing operation for comparing respective plural pieces of comparison object data broadcasted from the other processor with the comparison object data stored in that processor and generates plural compared result signals corresponding to respective plural pieces of comparison object data. Based on these compared result signals, a maximum/minimum value processor detecting circuit 350 detects the maximum/minimum value processor and generates its address. Under the control of a processor selector circuit 300, this address and the maximum/ minimum value are transferred to the outside.
