Abstract
In an information processor, input interface units (161, 162) are connected to one ring data bus (191) through jointing units (201, 202) and data processing units (181 and 185) are connected to the ring data bus (191) through jointing units (203 through 206) and branching units (221 through 224). Data processing units (183 through 187) are connected to the other ring data bus (192) through jointing units (207 through 210) and branching units (225 through 228) and output interface units (171, 172) are connected to the other ring data bus (192) through branching units (229, 230). The ring data buses (191, 192) propagate the respective in data through the input interface units (161, 162) while storing such data, and processing the data in any of the data processing units to provide outputs to any of the output interface units (171, 172). Thus, since the data is transmitted through the ring data buses ( 191, 192) while being held in the data buses, there is no necessity to provide a memory for temporarily storing the data in each data processing unit. In addition, for a large scale integration of a system, it is easy to integrate each unit in a high density.
