摘要:
A vector processor provided wtih a vector register to set therein vector element data having been stored in a main storage, prior to a vector operation, is disclosed in which control information indicating whether new element data is read out from the main storage to be set in one location of the vector register capable of storing one vector element data and to be latched, or vector element data having been latched is set in the above location, is set in a mask register, for each location of the vector register, and the control information is successively read out from the mask register, to set vector element data in the vector register in accordance with the read-out control information.
摘要:
To analyze a physical phenomenon by a computer having a plurality of vector processors and a parallel computer, there is generated submatrices in a preconditioning for obtaining solutions of simultaneous linear equations. Nonzero elements of the coefficient matrix are stored with column number indices assigned thereto such that the elements of the coefficient matrix and the data of right-side vector are scaled according to a sum of absolute values of nondiagonal elements of the coefficient matrix and a diagonal element related thereto. The nonzero elements are sorted depending on magnitude of their absolute values to subdivide the nondiagonal nonzero elements into m submatrices E1, E2, . . . , Em each having substantially a comparable order. Using products developed between differences between a unit matrix and these submatrices in the iterative calculations for a large-sized numerical simulation, there is obtained quite a satisfactory characteristic of convergence of solutions and hence the processing speed is remarkably increased.
