Controller for priority level of data

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To interrupt the processing to execute an emergency processing at the time of the occurrence of the emergency processing on the way of execution by providing a processing occurrence frequency management means which manages the frequency in occurrence of processings in each priority level, a priority level storage means, and a control means. CONSTITUTION:The packet from an operation part 2 is latched in an input register 13. A control part 14 reads its priority level information, and the data packet in the register 12 is registered in a queuing buffer 11 and is queued if this information is not larger than the value in an execution permission register 10. With respect to update of a priority level management table 9, the occurrence or termination of a processing and the priority level of this processing are read by a priority level controller 4 at the time of the occurrence or termination of the processing in the operation part 3, and a control part 15 increases contents of the table 9 by one in case of the occurrence of the processing and reduces them by one in case of the termination of the processing. If the value of an entry of the priority level management table 9 indicated by the register 10 is 0 at this time, the output value of an encoder 12 is set to the register 10 and packets whose priority levels exceed the value in the register 10 out of packets in the buffer 11 are successively taken out and set to an output register 14.
