Abstract
This invention provides a data processing device capable of operating a plurality of processing modules in parallel. Processes following a processing flow are assigned to the plural processing modules, respectively, and at least two of the processing modules are capable of running a same process. A network includes an arbitration circuit that, upon receiving a packet from a processing module, according to a process number attached to the packet, selects a processing module out of the processing modules capable of running the process, and outputs the packet to the selected processing module. This thus allows for autonomous transfer of a packet between each processing module and makes it possible to operate the processing modules in parallel.
