ABSTRACT:
A cell processor and memory-managed computer system using the same includes a processor module for interacting with a memory module. Within the memory module a plurality of groups of information are stored. Each group includes a data sector for storing a word, a vector sector for storing a vector word that links that group with at least one other group, and a function sector. The function sector includes an operation field for storing an operation word that indicates the operation to be performed by the processor module on the data word and a state field for storing a state word that represents the condition of that group for processing. When enabled by the memory module, the processor module processes a group of information designated by the memory module as ready for processing. It also selectively processes at least one of the words of the designated group. The processor module includes an address generator for identifying, based on the processing of one or more words in the designated group, a group of information to be accessed and processed. A process manager is responsive to the address generator and the group of information processed for assembling an access request for the identified group and for transmitting the access request to the memory module to provide new information to the memory module or to request additional information from the memory module.
