ABSTRACT:
A vector processor has a main storage, a main memory control circuit, vector registers, data transfer circuits; an address register group, and vector arithmetic units. The vector processor performs vector arithmetic processings of vector data received from the vector registers and sends the results to the vector registers. For simple vector instructions, the vector processor divides the vector processings and carries out the vector processings in parallel, using a plurality of sets of the above-mentioned data transfer circuits, vector registers and vector arithmetic units. On the other hand, for complicated vector instructions, the vector processor carries out the vector processings without dividing them using the vector registers, data transfer circuits and vector arithmetic units which were designated by the vector instructions.
