ABSTRACT:
A matrix processing unit is described which permits high speed numerical computation. The processing unit is a vector processing unit which is formed from a plurality of processing elements. The Ith processing unit has a set of N registers within which the Ith elements or words of N vectors of data are stored. Each processing element has an arithmetic unit which is capable of performing arithmetic operations on the N elements in the set of N registers. Each vector of data has K elements. Therefore, there are K processing elements. A vector operation of the matrix processing unit simultaneously performs the same operation on all elements of two vectors or more. A subsequent vector operation can be performed within one machine cycle time after the preceding vector operation.
