ABSTRACT:
A local store for a scientific vector processor which provides high speed access to scalar variables, parameters, temporary operands, and register save area contents of the system. Basically, the local store is a general purpose storage structure which provides access which is as fast as access to the general or vector registers of the vector processor. It is capable of being accessed either directly or indirectly via indexing. It resides in the virtual address area of the machine so that it is accessible for either reading or writing by the host programs. Because of its positioning in relation to the high performance main storage unit its size is transparent to the other programs of the system since it overflows automatically into the main storage unit. It also has multiple interfaces which provide a more simple matching of the bank widths and transfer rates of the rest of the scientific processor.
