Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit device, having a plurality of processing elements accommodated on a single semiconductor chip, has a latch circuit and a selecting circuit. The latch circuit is provided at an output of each of the processing elements. The selecting circuit selects an input source from a group consisting of upper, lower, left, and right processing elements and a zero signal.
Claims29
A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a plurality of processing elements accommodated on a single semiconductor chip, comprising:
- a latch circuit provided at an output of each of said processing elements;
- and
- a selecting circuit selecting an input source from a group consisting of upper, lower, left, and right processing elements and a zero signal.
A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a plurality of processing elements and a communication circuit interconnecting said processing elements, wherein
- a resource in a first processing element is used as a resource in an arbitrary second processing element through said communication circuit.
A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a plurality of photo detector circuits and a plurality of processing elements, wherein each of said photo detector circuits includes a comparing circuit comparing an output of a photo detector element with a reference voltage, and A/D conversion is performed by counting the time elapsing until an output of said comparing circuit drops below said reference voltage.
