A processor particularly useful in multimedia applications such as image processing is based on a stream programming model and has a tiered storage architecture to minimize global bandwidth requirements. The processor has a stream register file through which the processor's functional units transfer streams to execute processor operations. Load and store instructions transfer streams between the stream register file and a stream memory; send and receive instructions transfer streams between stream register files of different processors; and operate instructions pass streams between the stream register file and computational kernels. Each of the computational kernels is capable of performing compound vector operations. A compound vector operation performs a sequence of arithmetic operations on data read from the stream register file, i.e., a global storage resource, and generates a result that is written back to the stream register file. Each function or compound vector operation is specified by an instruction sequence that specifies the arithmetic operations and data movements that are performed each cycle to carry out the compound operation. This sequence can, for example, be specified using microcode.

Disclosed is an electronic device/apparatus capable of displaying an animation that varies with internal settings and minimizing the amount of memory use for handling information for animation generation. When a shutter button (12) is pressed in a help display mode, flash ON/OFF setup information (52) stored in an EEPROM (25) is referenced. If the value of the flash ON/OFF setup information is ON, a three-dimensional animation in which a flash (104) on a three-dimensional model (71) emits light is created and displayed in accordance with three-dimensional model data. If, on the other hand, the value is OFF, a three-dimensional animation in which the flash (104) on the three-dimensional (71) model does not emit light is displayed. Consequently, the user can recognize visually and intuitively the difference among various digital camera (100) motions that vary with system settings.
