Abstract

In this study we intend to reveal the impact of vectorization in personal computers. In order to do this, we will compare vector mode systems to systems that utilize traditional superscalar modes. Given the fact that most civil engineering application packages are computational intensive in matrix operation, the power of vector mode computers are, in most cases, a suitable choice. However, for those problems requiring large storage space or scalar computation, the merits of a vector mode's computational speed may be offset by the slow performance in both I/O and scalar operations in today's personal computers. Because unbalanced performance still exists in today's personal computers, we will undertake the task of discussing and describing how to improve coding techniques and receive the highest quality performance from one's personal computer system.
