Abstract
A data processor has sixteen processing elements that each include a register file and an arithmetic logic unit. A network unit connects between the register files of the processing elements and the arithmetic logic units of the processing elements. The network unit has a selector for simultaneously performing a plurality of data transfers which are each made from a register file of one processing element to an operation unit of another processing element. With the provision of this selector that can perform such simultaneous data transfers, the processing efficiency of the processing elements can be maintained even if a change occurs in operand assignments and the like.
