Vector processor

In computing, a vector processor is a central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set where its instructions are designed to operate efficiently and architecturally sequentially on large one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors. When integrated as a hardware component the vector processor is often called a vector processing unit…
