A data-processing arrangement for a plurality of parallel data processors is disclosed. An operation carried out by at least one of the parallel processors is defined by an instruction word or code. The data-processing arrangement includes a control processor that makes compositions of instruction words using instruction-word composing software. A composition (VLIW) of instruction words defines operations which are to be carried out in parallel. The compositions are then provided to each parallel data processor as required. Storage of instruction-word composing software generally requires less memory space than storage of independent VLIW-s for each parallel data processor. The cost-saving this provides generally outweighs any additional costs associated with providing the control processor. Thus, the data-processing arrangement yields better cost and memory efficiency.
