Data processing apparatus for processing asynchronous data in an asynchronous type data flow computer

摘要

Data is transferred on respective data transfer paths in an asynchronous manner. Data detecting sections are provided at predetermined positions along the respective data transfer paths. A data detecting devices to detect presence of the data in the respective data detecting sections. A coexistence detecting device is used responsive to the data detecting device to detect simultaneous existence of data in the data detecting sections of a predetermined combination. Data being held in a data holding device is referred to in the corresponding data detecting sections in response to the result of detection by the coexistence detecting device, whereby a plurality of pieces of data are simultaneously referred to among the data being transferred along the data transfer paths in an asynchronous manner.
