Local store for scientific vector processor

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5606639
A local storage structure is described for use in a scientific data processing system which system includes a high performance main storage unit and a scientific processor having a scalar processor module and a vector processor module. The local storage structure comprises: a single memory cycle access local store means organized as and of a similar configuration to the high performance main storage unit; first interface means coupled between the general purpose, single memory cycle access, local store means and the high performance main storage unit to provide data transfer therebetween; and second and third interface means including further means for coupling the single memory cycle access local store means to the scalar and vector processor modules of the scientific processor to provide the scalar and vector processor modules with memory access at a rate equal that provided by their scalar and vector registers.
