Abstract
A data driven processor includes an H register storing output destination information in path connection verification, and a circuit for selectively providing a data packet to one of a plurality of output ports according to a path verification flag and destination information included in an input data packet and the contents of the H register. The processor 250 may further include a circuit for applying a data packet to an image memory unit according to a path verification flag included in the input data packet and the contents of the H register, and a circuit for directly providing to the output processing unit a data packet for testing returned from an image memory unit according to the path verification flag thereof. A data driven information processing device including a plurality of data driven processors and a method of verifying a path connection in this data driven information processing device are also disclosed.
