Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein are vector index registers in vector processors that each store multiple addresses for accessing multiple positions in vectors. It is known to use scalar index registers in vector processors to access multiple positions of vectors by changing the scalar index registers in vector operations. By using a vector indexing register for indexing positions of one or more operand vectors, the scalar index register can be replaced and at least the continual changing of the scalar index register can be avoided.
