Abstract
A method for combining data values through associative operations. The method includes, with a processor, arranging any number of data values into a plurality of columns according to natural parallelism of the associative operations and reading each column to a register of an individual processor. The processors are directed to combine the data values in the columns in parallel using a first associative operation. The results of the first associative operation for each column are stored in a register of each processor.
