Abstract
A SIMD processor with a versatile hardware configuration performs efficient range determination that is frequently used in image processing and recognition. A SIMD processor includes a range determination arithmetic unit including first and second registers that can store two values. The SIMD processor uses three values, namely, these two values and the value of source data input from a register file unit, to flexibly set the processing target data for range determination and the two boundaries defining the processing target range of the range determination.
