The mu VP 64-bit vector coprocessor: a new implementation of high-performance numerical computation

The architecture and design of the mu VP, a single-chip vector coprocessor developed to meet the needs of high-performance processors, are described. The mu VP is a supercomputer component implemented on a single large-scale-integrated (LSI) CMOS chip. With 206 MFLOPS single-precision and 106-MFLOPS double-precision performance at 50 MHz, the mu VP offers a rate almost equivalent to that typical minisupercomputers.<
