Abstract
A vector processing system provides high performance vector processing using a System-On-a-Chip (SOC) implementation technique. One or more scalar processors (or cores) operate in conjunction with a vector processor, and the processors collectively share access to a plurality of memory interfaces coupled to Dynamic Random Access read/write Memories (DRAMs). In typical embodiments the vector processor operates as a slave to the scalar processors, executing computationally intensive Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) codes in response to commands received from the scalar processors. The vector processor implements a vector processing Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) including machine state, instruction set, exception model, and memory model.
