Vector processing system

Abstract

A vector processing system is provided, including a store data alignment circuit for a pipe line structure and improving an access time for storing vector-processed data in main storage units connected thereto. The vector processing system includes: a unit for storing vector-processed data; a unit for controlling the reading of the vector-processed data from the vector-processed data storing unit, and the storing of the read data in the main storage units; a unit correspondingly provided to the main storage unit, for receiving the vector-processed data through the read and store control unit and buffering the data therein; a unit for managing the data stored in the data buffering unit; and a unit for determining a priority of a store access to the main storage unit. The read and store control unit and the main storage unit are operable in response to the priority determined by the priority determining unit. The main storage unit is activated to store the vector-processed data when the vector-processed data are stored in the data buffering unit, or when the store of the vector-processed data from the vector-processed data storing unit to the data buffering unit is started, after the priority determination is completed.
