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
A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose computer. The performance of a supercomputer is commonly measured in floating-point operations per second ( FLOPS) instead of million instructions ...
