ABSTRACT:
Advantage is taken of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit design and manufacture to provide, in a digital data handling system handling display signal streams, a video processor which is capable of high performance due to vector processing and special addressing modes. The video processor has, on a single VLSI device, a plurality of processors which cooperate for generating video signal streams and which employ distinctive addressing modes for memory elements of the device. Each of the plurality of processors has associated instruction and data caches, which are joined together by a wide data bus formed on the same substrate as the processors, and further has registers for controlling access, and the modes of access, to data held in memory.
