Abstract:
1. A SIMD-type microprocessor comprising: a processor element group including plural processor elements, each of the processor elements having an operation part and a register file arranged in the processor element; a processor element control signal generator configured to output a clock signal and a processor element control signal controlling operation of the processor elements; and a feed part disposed at a center of the processor element group and configured to feed the processor element control signal output from the processor element control signal generator to each of the processor elements in the processor element group, wherein the feed part includes a first buffer circuit and a pipeline register configured as a pipeline starting point at the center of the processor element group to register, in accordance with the clock signal, the processor element control signal from the processor element control signal generator and output the registered processor element control signal to the first buffer circuit, and the first buffer circuit buffers the registered processor element control signal and outputs the buffered processor element control signal to said each of the processor elements in the processor element group.
