ABSTRACT:
A vector processing system having a main memory, at least one scalar register, a plurality of vector registers, a functional section for performing predetermined operations for at least a group of the vector elements of the vector register in response to a first instruction, a first storage device for storing a positive integer MVL corresponding to the storage locations to be used in each of the vector registers, a setting device for setting the number MVL in the first storage device, a control device responsive to a second instruction for transferring the content of the first storage device to one of the scalar registers and main memory, a second storage device for holding the number of vector elements in at least one vector register to be supplied to the functional section based upon the content MVL of the first storage device and a positive integer N corresponding to the number of vector operations specified by an instruction and read-out device for sequentially reading out the vector elements of the at least one vector register to the functional section in response to the content of the second storage device.
