An Architecture of Vector Processor Concept using Dimensional Counting Mechanism of Structured Data
Yeong-Il Jo, Jang-Chun Park · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 1996
In the scalar processing oriented machine scalar operations must be performed for the vector processing as many as the number of vector components. So called a vector processing mechanism by the von Neumann operational principle. Accessing vector data hasto beperformed by theevery pointing ofthe instruction or by the address calculation of the ALU, because there is only a program counter(PC) for the sequential counting of the instructions as a memory accessing device. It should be here proposed that an access unit dimensionally to address components has to be designed for the compensation of the organizational hardware defect of the conventional concept. The necessity for the vector structuring has to be implemented in the instruction set and be performed in the mid of the accessing data memory overlapped externally to the data processing unit at the same time.
