Abstract

A data processing device which is equipped with a plurality of arithmetic units so that a plurality of instructions may be processed in parallel by the plural arithmetic units. The device includes a register control circuit for assigning one of a plurality of physical registers to store instructions when more than one of the instructions requires the use of the same logical register. This correspondence between the physical and logical registers is maintained while instructions are subsequently transferred to the arithmetic units where they are processed in parallel.
