Abstract: Disclosed is an image processor with frame-rate conversion that can perform frame-rate conversion of a video signal with a single frame memory. In this image processor with frame-rate conversion, input digital video signals are successively written on the frame memory with a timing synchronized with a vertical synchronization signal included in the input digital video signals. During this time, a frequency signal that mainly consists of a train of N pulses for every M cycles of the vertical synchronization signal is generated as a vertical synchronization signal being rate-converted, and the input digital video signals stored in the frame memory are read out in the order in which they were written with a timing synchronized with the vertical synchronization signal being rate-converted. Such a configuration makes it possible to convert the input digital video signals to video signals having a desired vertical synchronization frequency with use of a single frame memory, thereby converting frame-rate.

Abstract: An information processing system capable of performance measurement by the use of a small amount of mounted hardware. The information processing system having central processors installed therein comprises a control circuit, and a performance measurement validation register for specifying whether a performance measurement function is valid or invalid. In a case where the validity of the measurement function has been specified by the register, the control circuit operates one loop in a duplex configuration as a performance measurement facility. At this time, counter #1-counter #3 are used as counters for totalizing performance information. On the other hand, in a case where the invalidity of the measurement function has been specified, both loops in the duplex configuration are operated as the central processors. At this time, the counter #1-the counter #3 are used as timer counters for controlling buses.
