Abstract
A vector processor having a vector register made up of elements of l.sub.2 -byte size for storing vector data made up of a plurality of elements read out from a main storage which has a plurality of storage areas and is capable of reading out data of l.sub.1 -byte size beginning from a specified address bound, and adapted to write vector data with an element size of m (l.sub.1 /m is an integer and l.sub.2 is larger or equal to m) into the vector register sequentially, read-out vector data from the vector register for computation by an arithmetic unit, and write the computational result into the vector register, wherein the processor writes elements of vector data read out from the main storage into separatte, specified locations of the vector register in an order required for subsequent operations.
