Zusammenfassung:A microprocessor system comprises a vector computational unit and a control unit. The vector computational unit includes a plurality of processing elements. The control unit is configured to provide at least a single processor instruction to the vector computational unit. The single processor instruction specifies a plurality of component instructions to be executed by the vector computational unit in response to the single processor instruction and each of the plurality of processing elements of the vector computational unit is configured to process different data elements in parallel with other processing elements in response to the single processor instruction.
