DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18305936 Titled 'DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a data processing apparatus that consists of memory and processors. The processors execute instructions stored in the memory to process data. The processing is done sequentially by a series of interconnected processing nodes. The apparatus stores the results of each processing node, as well as the status and parameters of each node. The parameters are used to determine which node should perform the processing. The apparatus cyclically specifies the order in which the processing nodes should be executed based on their hierarchy. It also checks if a specified node is ready for processing based on its stored status. Finally, it determines which node should perform the processing based on the result of the check and the stored parameters for that node.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data processing apparatus comprises one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors that, upon execution of the instructions, are configured to sequentially perform processing of data by a plurality of hierarchically connected processing nodes, store, in the one or more memories, processing results of the plurality of respective processing nodes, and processing statuses of and parameters for the plurality of respective processing nodes, the parameters being used determine a processing node to perform the processing, cyclically specify processing nodes, from among the plurality of processing nodes, to perform the processing in an order based on hierarchy, determine whether the processing by a specified processing node is performable based on the stored processing statuses, and determine a processing node to perform the processing based on a result of determination and the stored parameter for the specified processing node.
