Abstract
Disclosed is a very large instruction word (VLIW) type parallel processing computer architecture. The VLIW is divided into operation field groups which are made up of operands. Each operand in a VLIW is executed by a different processor. The computer contains independent register files for each of the respective operation field groups in a single instruction word. Data transfer between the registers is executed via signal lines which connect registers that are designated as operands in each operation field group to each other. The data transfer between register files is directed by a command which is included as an operand for one of the processors. This command eliminates the need for a destination field in each operand simplifying the VLIW.
