Abstract
A processor includes a loop counter that is reset to 0 when a loop instruction for executing a process in a loop from a loop start address to a loop end address is issued, a data memory that receives data that is used for executing a process in the loop, in which the data is transferred from outside, a calculator that uses the data transferred to the data memory to execute the process in the loop, a data counter that increments the loop counter by 1 every time a certain amount of data that is used for executing a process in the loop is transferred from outside to a data memory, and a loop controller that decrements the loop counter by 1 and causes the calculator to execute the process in the loop when a loop count value of the loop counter is not 0.
