Abstract
A processor for use in CAT X-ray systems and NMR systems performs floating point arithmetic operations in parallel to shorten processing time. A single program memory and program sequencing unit operates a set of floating point arithmetic units to carry out parallel operations on data set storeed in respective data memories. An integer processor unit executes logical operations and a shared data memory stores constants and other data which is required by the integer processor unit and which is common to the operations performed by all of the floating point arithmetic units.
