ABSTRACT:
A hierarchical processing system includes processors connected in a hierarchical formation having first, second and third hierarchical levels, for down loading information to the processors in parallel. The system comprises a memory unit provided at the first hierarchical level, for storing information to be down loaded to the processors located at the second and third hierarchical levels and for receiving configuration data about the processors located at the second and third hierarchical levels therefrom, a receiving unit provided at the second hierarchical level, for receiving the information to be down loaded to the processors located at the second and third hierarchical levels from the memory unit and for sending the configuration data about processors located at the second and third hierarchical levels to the memory unit. Another receiving unit is provided at the third hierarchical level, for receiving the information to be down loaded to the processors located at the third hierarchical level from the memory unit via the first receiving unit and for sending the configuration data about the processors located at the third hierarchical level to the first receiving unit. Thus, the memory unit can store the information to be down loaded to the processors and send the information to the processors on the basis of the configuration data.
