ARRAY processor is a processor that performs computations on a large array of data.
It is also called vector processor.(It execute one instruction at a time but on array of data.)
Array processor is of two types:-
1) ATTACHED ARRAY PROCESSOR
2) SIMD ARRAY PROCESSOR
Coming over attached array processor - In this an auxillary processor is attached to a general purpose computer.It enhances the performance of the host computer in specific numerical computation tasks.
* It provides vector processing for complex scientific applications.
* This attachment is done by parallel processing i.e. it contains one or more pipelined floating point adders and multipliers.
Can be programmed by user.
GENERAL PURPOSE
COMPUTERS <-------------> I/O INTERFACE <-------------->ATTACHED ARRAY PRO.

MAIN MEMORY <------------------------------------------------------> LOCAL MEMORY
The attached array processor is attached to host computer by a input-output interface or controller and The data for the attached processor are transferred from main memory to a local memory through a high speed bus.
