Abstract
A data driven information processor includes a main body processing portion for processing a data packet, a start register storing information for use in determining whether to continue to process the data packet output from the main body processing portion or output externally, and a branch portion for determining whether to provide the output of the main body processing portion to the main body processing portion or to the output processing portion based on the content of the register and the content of the data packet and branching the data packet. The branch portion has a duplicating function to produce a duplicate of the data packet for provision to the output processing portion if it determines the data packet should continue to be processed by the main body processing portion.
