Vector and Array Processing: Trends, Horizons
Array Processing is a computer architectural concept that was first put to use in the early 1960s. As scientific computing evolved, the need to process large amounts of data using a common algorithm became important. Computers with an array of processing elements (PEs), controlled by a common control unit (CU) were built. The PEs were usually ALUs, capable of performing simple mathematical operations. The CPU itself would perform the job of the CU.
