Abstract

An image operation processing apparatus is connected to a memory. The apparatus processes, by accessing the memory, a data packet including instruction information and an address of a prescribed address space. The apparatus realizes an address translation process for translating the address included in an incoming data packet to an address of a partial address space smaller than the prescribed address space. It further realizes a memory access process for accessing the memory in accordance with the address translated by the address translation process. Finally, it performs a process in accordance with the instruction information included in the data packet.
