Abstract
This invention provides a signal processing apparatus which comprises a CPU and a programmable signal processor which has a plurality of execution units, a register file having a plurality of registers connected serially, and a shift controller which issues a shift signal to shift data held in the register file when each of the execution units has completed execution of a program of one cycle. Each of the execution units, after the execution of the program of one cycle, re-executes the program in accordance with the reception of the shift signal. The CPU stores, to a program memory in each of the execution units, a program including instructions to store data of a result of processing to one of registers so that the other execution unit refers the data in next cycle.
