PURPOSE: To reduce complicated wiring as a whole array by using the same data path to be used for selecting a row or a column for the broadcast of data and activity control. CONSTITUTION: The array is constituted so that row and column selection inputs in each row or column are connected in common, and, a processing element PE receives row or column data broadcast or transmitted extending over each row and column selection line. Besides, it is constituted so that each processing element PE is provided with an activity control unit, and the activity control unit receives an activity control signal from the row and column selection inputs. Then, the same row (column) data path is used for three different purposes at three different times, the broadcast (sending) of the data, the selection of the row (column) for answer output, and the selection of the row (column) for write-in controlled by the activity. Thus, the complicatedness of the wiring can be reduced. |
