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
.
The chaining technique was first used by
Seymour Cray
in the
80
MHz
Cray 1
supercomputer
in
1976
