Abstract
To provide a parallel processor apparatus which can perform processing with a good efficiency on signals comprised of data of different lengths. A parallel processor configured by a serial connection of a first parallel processor and a second parallel processor having n number of individual processors and (m-n) number of individual processors. For signals comprised of data of a length, serving as the unit of processing, of m or less and n or more, these parallel processors are connected and used as a single parallel processor apparatus which performs processing equivalent to that by a conventional parallel processor apparatus. For signals comprised of data of a length of n or less, these parallel processors are independently used to perform pipeline processing and thereby perform two times the amount of processing of that performed by a conventional parallel processor apparatus.
