2094269 9207335 PCTABS00012 The specification discloses a scalable parallel vector computer system including a multiple vector processor network, a common memory, and communication network for communicating between the vector processors and the common memory. The communication network is designed such that information transmitted suffers variable latencies. These latencies are substantially hidden through the use of context switching vector processors containing multiple instruction threads. These vector processors execute the instructions in one thread until an issue block is encountered, then context switch to the next thread, continuing this process until all instructions are executed. This context switching significantly reduces processor idle time. As a result, the system of the present invention may be scaled to virtually any number of processors by simple replication without substantially impacting individual processor performance.
