Device for processing data by means of a plurality of processors

Abstract

A data processing device comprises a plurality of processors, for example 101, that are to access a memory system 150. The memory system 150 comprises at least two memories 111 and 112. The data processing device comprises a bus, for example 121, per memory. The buses are interconnected by at least one bridge, for example 131. A processor is connected to a bus, and the data processing device comprises at least one memory table, for example 141, specifying with which memory an exchange of a data item between a processor and the memory system 150 must be effected. The invention allows a reduction of the reaction times in processing the data and an augmentation of the passband. It is notably interesting in systems where the real-time constraint is considerable, for example, in video data processing systems.
