ABSTRACT:
A plurality of special multi-element registers, called "vector registers" herein, are incorporated into a scalar computer. The vector registers are controlled to sequence the transfer of vector data between a main memory and a processing unit of the computer to occur one element at a time until an entire array of vector data has been processed. The vector registers operate concurrently with the processing unit and the main memory. A common address scheme is used between the vector registers and the scalar registers of the computer so the vector registers are visible in the scalar register address space. Pointers are used in the vector registers to keep track of the order of the array elements during processing. Vector registers are used to store intermediate results of the vector processing operations.
