Abstract
In a system in which a plurality of data driven information processors are connected to each other to receive a data packet and to carry out processing simultaneously, each processor stores a processor number parameter ID of a data packet to be forcibly included in a specific data packet to be input. The forced input packet is a packet which each processor should receive and process unconditionally among packets addressed to the other processors excluding itself. The parameter ID is a number for identifying the other processors. Upon reception of an ordinary data packet, the processor compares information for specifying a processor to process the received ordinary data packet respectively with parameter ID and processor identification number PE# preassigned to each processor for identifying itself, and in response to matching between the information and any one of parameter ID and processor identification number PE#, takes in the received ordinary data packet in order to process the same. As a result, each processor can process not only a data packet to be processed in itself but also a data packet to be processed in the other processors, and a data transmission path among the proc…
