ABSTRACT:
A multiprocessor system capable of responding to various types of processing to improve the processing efficiency of the entire system. Each of a plurality of processors holds information indicating the program control mode, a VLIW mode or a multithread mode, in a program synchronization flag of a program controller. A master processor, responsible for program control of the entire system, notifies an instruction memory section for storing instructions in a program of updated information when the program synchronization flag information is updated.
