ABSTRACT:
A digital data processing system including a plurality of processors processes a program in parallel to load process data into a two-dimensional matrix having a plurality of matrix entries. So that the processors will not have to synchronize loading of process data into particular locations in the matrix, the matrix has a third dimension defining a plurality of memory locations, with each series of locations along the third dimension being associated with one of the matrix entries. Each processor initially loads preliminary process data into a memory location along the third dimension. After that has been completed, each processor generates process data for an entry of the two-dimensional matrix from the preliminary process data in the locations along the third dimension related thereto. Since the processors separately load preliminary process data into different memory locations, along the third dimension, there is no conflict with accessing of memory locations among the various processors during generation of preliminary process data. Further, since the processors can separately generate process data for different matrix entries from the preliminary data, there is no conflict in accessing of the memory locations among the various processors during of the process data.
