ABSTRACT:
A SIMD microprocessor, which can be included in an image processing apparatus using an image processing method used therein, includes a global processor and multiple processor elements controlled by the global processor. Each single processor element of the multiple processor elements includes multiple operation units. The global processor is configured to control the multiple processing elements to uniformly change a configuration of the multiple operation units in the single processor element to determine a number of data units of operation according to the multiple operation units either operated individually or in cooperation with each other in the single processor element and a width of data processed per data unit of operation performed in the single processor element. A processor element number is assigned per data unit of operation to the single processor element to use for executing an operation.
