ABSTRACT:
The present invention is intended to provide a parallel data-processing device comprising a plurality of ring-like interconnected processors, which is capable of conducting high-speed calculations with a plurality of matrices and neural nets. A data processing device according to the present invention comprises a plurality of interconnected unit processors each of which comprises a first data-holding means and storage means consisting of a second data-holding means and connecting means. The connecting means of each processor has inputs, outputs and a state variable. Input and output connections of the connecting means change depending upon a state of the state variable. The input of the connecting means of a processor is connected to a second output of a first neighboring processor, the output is connected to an input of second data-holding means in that processor, the input is connected to an output of first data-holding means of a second neighboring processor and the output is connected to an input of connecting means of that processor. The processors are connected to each other to form a ring circuit wherein data sets are simultaneously transferred between the processors.
