20080244240 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A semiconductor device includes a first arithmetic engine which executes a first arithmetic process in every cycle and outputs first data representing the result of the first arithmetic process and a first valid signal representing a first or second value in every cycle, and a second arithmetic engine which executes a second arithmetic process in every cycle and outputs second data representing the result of the second arithmetic process and a second valid signal representing the first or second value in every cycle. The device also includes an inter-arithmetic-engine buffer which is used to exchange the first data and the second data between the first and second arithmetic engines, enables write of the first or second data if the first or second valid signal indicates the first value, and inhibits write of the first or second data if the first or second valid signal indicates the second value. | 10-02-2008 |
