- 2. Vector processor • Vector processor is basically a central processing unit that has the ability to execute the complete vector input in a single instruction. • It is a complete unit of hardware resources that executes a sequential set of similar data items in the memory using a single instruction. • It implements the data sequentially.
- 4. • It holds a single control unit but has multiple execution units that perform the same operation on different data elements of the vector. • A vector processor operates on multiple pair of data. • Vector processing allows operation on multiple data elements by the help of single instruction. • These instructions are said to be single instruction multiple data or vector instructions. • The CPU used in recent time makes use of vector processing as it is advantageous than scalar processing. • .`
- 5. • Classification of Vector Processor • The classification of vector processor relies on the ability of vector formation as well as the presence of vector instruction for processing. So, depending on these criteria, vector processing is classified as follows:
- 6. Advantages of Vector Processor • Vector processor uses vector instructions by which code density of the instructions can be improved. • The sequential arrangement of data helps to handle the data by the hardware in a better way. • It offers a reduction in instruction bandwidth.
