PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a custom-made computer for large scale computing of low development cost. SOLUTION: A basic operation unit 100 comprising an operation part 11, RAM groups 20 and 30 and RAMIF parts 12 and 13 for providing data read/write control on the RAM groups 20 and 30 implements hardware processing. The operation part forms a pipeline structure. Operation data is input from the memory per clock of the frequency of the operation part, and operation results past the pipeline are output per clock. The RAMIF parts 12 and 13 read the operation data from the RAM group according to a predetermined schedule and write it to the plurality of RAMs distributively in consideration of the order of the operation data to be read by the next stage operation part. A combination of a plurality of such basic operation units into a large scale device can dispense with the development of dedicated boards to implement low cost and short term development of the custom-made computer for large scale computing.
