Abstract

The invention relates to computer architecture technology in the computer field. More specifically, the invention relates to a novel driving method for driving computer program/instruction execution, and a computer processor architecture and computer processor using the method. As one of the features of the invention, even on condition that no interrupt process is involved, the processor of this type can execute multiple programs in parallel on a single processor of this type exactly at the same time. Herein, the single processor relates to a single processor comprised of an instruction control section, an operation control section, a program memory section, a data memory section, and a communicating section. As another feature of the invention, a program execution driver (PED) is provided for each of the programs, and the multiple PED can manage and control the execution of multiple programs in parallel on the above single processor at the same time, independently or cooperatively with each other. The invention is adapted for design various computer processors, such as single chip micyocos, DSP and computer CPU with various scales.
