The object of the present invention is to provide a multiprocessor system that is capable of performing hierarchical parallel processing. The multiprocessor system includes a plurality of element processors and a plurality of synchronization control units respectively corresponding thereto. The synchronization control units are connected together for receiving and transmitting a synchronization signal from and to each other. The synchronization signal is set in accordance with processing to be executed next by one of the element processors that corresponds to each synchronization control unit. Each synchronization control unit comprises a synchronization permission unit operable to output a synchronization permission signal to one of the element processors that corresponds thereto if a synchronization request signal has been input from the one of the element processors and all of synchronization signals selected based on synchronization selection information set by any of the element processors indicate a prescribed value.
