Data transmission/reception apparatus
First Claim
1. A data transmission/reception apparatus for performing a data transfer by a pipeline technique between a first predetermined number of processing means each capable of performing a data process, the first predetermined number being two or more, comprising:
- a second predetermined number of intermediary means for interconnecting first data processing means and second data processing means and allowing data obtained through the data process performed by the first data processing means to be transmitted to the second data processing section, wherein the first data processing means and second data processing means are adjoining data processing means, the second predetermined number being smaller by one than the first predetermined number, wherein, the first data processing means includes transmission means for providing connection to the intermediary means to transmit the data to the second data processing means, the second data processing means includes reception means for providing connection to the intermediary means to receive the data transmitted from the first data processing means, and the intermediary means includes;
transmission/reception control means for controlling the data transmission/reception; and
a buffer for temporarily storing the data.

Abstract
In a data transmission/reception apparatus 11, a data transfer is performed by a pipeline technique between N processing sections Pd—1 to Pd_N. The data transmission/reception apparatus 11 includes (N−1) or more intermediary sections 21, each having a transmission/reception control section 23 for controlling data transmission/reception and a buffer 27. The intermediary sections 21 interconnect adjoining first and second data processing sections Pd—1 and Pd—2 to allow data obtained through the data process performed by the first data processing section Pd—1 to be transmitted to the second data processing section. A transmission API 35a in the first data processing section Pd—1 transmits data to the second data processing section Pd—2. A reception API 37b in the second data processing section Pd—2 receives the data transmitted from the second data processing section Pd—2.
