Data driven information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A data driven information processing apparatus having a plurality of data transmission paths connected in series through which a data transfer request signal and a data transfer enabling signal are passed for transmission of a data packet, said data packet including a flag for determining a processing content, a tag field and a data field, the data driven information processing apparatus comprising:
- a register including a processing content detection field for determining a processing content for said data packet and a tag data field; and
a processing circuit, when said data packet is input to said data transmission path, for determining whether the tag field of said register and the tag field of said data packet have identical information, and, based on a result of the determination, performing processing on said data packet according to information stored in the processing content detection field of said register.

Abstract
A data packet, having a flag for determination of its processing content, a tag field and a data field, is sequentially transferred between pipeline registers according to pulses from C elements. A determination is made as to whether the tag field of the data packet includes information identical to that pre-stored in a tag field of a register within a processing content determination unit. Based on the determination result, the data packet is processed according to the information stored in a processing content determination field of the register.

7. A data driven information processing apparatus having a plurality of data transmission paths connected in series through which a data transfer request signal and a data transfer enabling signal are passed for transmission of a data packet, said data packet including a flag for determining a processing content, a tag field and a data field, the data driven information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a first register including a processing content detection field for determination of a processing content for said data packet and a tag data field;
a second register including a processing content detection field for determination of a processing content for said data packet and a tag mask field; and
a processing circuit, when said data packet is input to said data transmission path, for applying masking processing to both tag data stored in the tag data field of said first register and tag data stored in the tag field of said data packet using tag mask data stored in the tag mask field of said second register, determining whether the tag field of said first register after the masking processing and the tag field of said data packet after the masking processing have identical information, and, according to a result of the determination, performing processing on said data packet according to information stored in the processing content detection fields of said first and second registers. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
