Abstract

Performance of the Vector Facility of the IBM 3090 processor is discussed. The paper has two parts, the first presenting factors affecting performance measurement of the Vector Facility and the criteria for its design. In the second part, use of the 3090 storage hierarchy to support the vector processing implementation is the main aspect of the discussion.
