Abstract
A vector processor includes a first read circuit for reading a first vector including a plurality of vectors such as a vector having elements denoting a compare key as a search request and a vector having elements designating a search range associated with each compare key, a second read circuit for generating, from a portion of the elements of the first vector read by the first read circuit and designated by the search range, information specifying elements of a second vector to be referenced so as to read the vector elements to be referenced in accordance with the generated information, and an arithmetic or logic circuit for effecting an arithmetic or logic operation on the elements of the second vector and the elements of the first vector thus read out, respectively.
