Vector C: A vector processing language
Journal Article
·
· J. Parallel Distrib. Comput.; (United States)
The language Vector C is a superset of the conventional (scalar) programming language C with extensions to facilitate vector processing. The design goals and a methodology for performing language extensions and the extended language features of Vector C are presented. The implementation of Vector C on the Cyber 205 is nearing completion. Some empirical data are presented which demonstrate that Vector C can generate a code which executes at speeds that meet or exceed those of equivalent statements from 205 Vector Fortran. Readers are assumed to have some knowledge of the C language.
