Method and apparatus for transferring vector data between parallel processing system with registers & logic for inter-processor data communication independents of processing operations

摘要

A parallel processor system having a plurality of processor elements includes transfer information generation circuit for generating transfer information by adding to vector data a data identifier for the vector data and a destination processor element number, transmission circuit for sending the transfer information to a data communication path, receive circuit for holding the transfer information sent from the data communication path, and vector register for continuously reading related element data from the receive circuit based on the data identifiers generated by the transfer information generation circuit.
