Abstract: The microprograms for executing the instructions by the processor elements (PE) are contained in the control store (CS) which is designed in such a manner that, at least in the case of frequently used microprograms, a simultaneous access of the processor elements (PE) to the control store (CS) is possible. For this purpose, the control store (CS) exhibits a first substore (CS1) which exhibits a number of read ports (CP) corresponding to the number of processor elements, one read port in each case being allocated to one processor element. Furthermore, the control store exhibits a second substore (CS2) which has at least one read port (C2P) which can be accessed by all processor elements. Using a port control (PST), either a port (CP) of the first substore (CS1) or the port (C2P) of the second substore (CS2) can be switched through to the microinstruction bus (MI) leading to the processor element (PE), for example in dependence on the address of the requested microprogram. Since the frequently used microprograms are located in the first substore and the less frequently used microprograms are located in the second substore, an access conflict occurs only rarely, even in parallel operation. <IMAGE>
