Abstract

Advantage is taken of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit design and manufacture to provide, in a digital data handling system handling display signal streams, a video processor which is capable of high performance due to vector processing and asynchronous interrupt service. The VLSI device has a plurality of processors which cooperate for generating video signal streams and at least one and preferably at least two interrupt registers for controlling the operations of instruction data stream execution and interruption.
