Simple Vector Processor Modeled with VHDL

Abstract. Vector architectures have proven to be the best choice if we want to achieve high performance when executing numerical applications and multimedia. In this paper we describe a project whose main goal is to obtain a detailed description of a traditional vector processor using VHDL Hardware Description Language. This work will be very useful for direct application on computer architecture and digital systems courses at universities. Research on power consumption and improved architectures can be benefited also
