Abstract

A processor includes a “four-dimensional” register structure in which register file structures are replicated by N for vertical threading in combination with a three-dimensional storage circuit. The multi-dimensional storage is formed by constructing a storage, such as a register file or memory, as a plurality of two-dimensional storage planes.
