Scientific processor vector file organization
This patent describes in a scientific vector processor having multiple independent instruction execution pipelines, a vector file memory system. It comprises: a first vector file means for addressable storing a plurality of vector files made up of vector elements in a predetermined storage configuration and a second equal vector file means for addressably storing a second plurality of vector files made up of vector elements in the predetermined storage configuration. Each of the first and second vector file means including an identical plurality of N memory blocks, wherein each of the memory blocks comprises a random access memory means having storage locations for storing vector elements, addressing means for providing address signals for addressing the storage locations, and a separate writing means for writing vector elements in addressed ones of the storage locations. Each of the random access memory means including a plurality of successive addressable storage locations wherein each such successive location stores contiguous information successively separated by N locations, where N equals the number of the N memory blocks; N address registers; and a time slot management mechanism coupled to each of the vector file means to allocate and maintain memory access.
