Chaining (vector processing)
- Chaining (vector processing)
-
In computing, chaining is a technique used in computer architecture in which scalar and vector registers generate interim results which can be used immediately, without additional memory references which reduce computational speed.[1]
The chaining technique was first used by Seymour Cray in the 80 MHz Cray 1 supercomputer in 1976[2]
