Abstract: A multicore processor according to the invention has a plurality of cores. The plurality of cores are configured to operate at an operation clock with a frequency varying periodically with the same period, and a variation phase of a frequency of the operation clock of each core of the plurality of cores is shifted by a predetermined amount among the plurality of cores.

Abstract: A multithread execution device includes: a program memory in which a plurality of programs are stored; an instruction issue unit that issues an instruction retrieved from the program memory; an instruction execution unit that executes the instruction; a target execution speed information memory that stores target execution speed information of the instruction; an execution speed monitor that monitors an execution speed of the instruction; a feedback control unit that commands the instruction issue unit to issue the instruction such that the execution speed of the instruction approximately corresponds to the target execution speed information.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted electronic system includes: a standby ECU that performs standby operation when ignition is turned off; a plurality of non-standby ECUs that are inactive when the ignition is turned off; a sensor electric wire that is disposed between the plurality of sensors and the standby ECU to supply power from the standby ECU to the plurality of sensors; a sensor signal wire that carries a signal from the plurality of sensors to the standby ECU; and an ECU signal wire that is disposed between the non-standby ECU and the standby ECU to carry a wakeup request signal from the standby ECU to the non-standby ECU, in which the standby ECU, in response to signal input from the sensor, transmits the wake up request signal through the ECU signal wire to the non-standby ECU that corresponds to the signal from the sensor.

Abstract: The packet switch performs a scheduling process by selecting a unicast packet or a multicast packet to be output from each of N input buffers such that input lines and output lines cannot conflict each other for a unicast packet, and such that the input lines cannot conflict each other for the multicast packet.

Abstract: A switching apparatus that is used for high-speed large-capacity routing and a communication apparatus and communication system that are used for an efficient recursive multicast. A matrix switch performs self-routing on a packet on the basis of a tag including output route information set in the packet. Selectors are located so as to correspond to N output ports P#1 through P#N of the matrix switch and perform N-to-one selection control. Setting registers hold selection information used by the selectors to select a signal.

Abstract: In a common buffering device with a simple arrangement, a write address can be efficiently released from a buffer memory upon receipt of a multi-address call. For an ATM cell which is to be transmitted to a specific line, a write address is set in a common buffer memory, and the ATM cell is written at the write address. The ATM cell is read from an address which corresponds to the write address, and is transmitted to the specific line. Then, the pertinent write address is released. In a write table are entered a plurality of multi-address lines across which an ATM cell written at a specific address in the common buffering device can be multicast. Each time the ATM cell is read from the specific address, a designation line for transmission of an ATM cell in a read control table is compared with the multi-address lines set in the write control table. When the lines match, the write address for the ATM cell, which is set in the write control table, is released.
