ABSTRACT:
A parallel processor performs efficient parallel processing of one or more basic instructions contained in each of a plurality of instruction words delimited by instruction delimiting information. The processor includes: a plurality of instruction execution units performing processes in accordance with corresponding, supplied basic instructions in parallel; an instruction fetch unit fetching the instruction words one by one in accordance with the instruction delimiting information; and an instruction issue unit recognizing and, in accordance therewith, selecting each of the basic instructions contained in each of the instruction words fetched by the instruction fetch unit to a corresponding instruction execution unit to execute the basic instruction.
