PURPOSE:To reduce the overhead of a processor element accompanied with an inter-processor element communication processing by providing a specific communication processing part, and selectively executing a prescribed communication processing independently of an operation at a calculation processing part. CONSTITUTION:This circuit is constituted of a calculation processing part 10 and a communication processing part 11. Then, the communication processing part 11 is equipped with registers 110-113 which store logic address (1) of a processor element 1, number (2) of entire processors, logical data (5) and (6), and communication data (3) communicated from a communication network 3, buffers 116-117, each kind of arithmetic unit 114 and 115, control sequencer 118 which operates communication control, and communication network interface 119, as a hardware mechanism used exclusively for a global processing. Then, after the circuit is activated by a software instruction executed by the calculation processing part 10, the global communication processing is executed by the hardware mechanism independently of the calculation processing part 10. |
