Abstract

A signal processing apparatus able to raise a processing capability in processing accompanying access to a storing means is provided. Stream control units (SCU) 203—0 to 203—3 access data at an external memory system or local memories 204—0 to 204—3 according to a thread under control from a host processor. Processor units (PU) arrays 202—0 to 202—3 perform image processing by a different thread from the thread of the SCUs 203—0 to 203—3.
