CPU Computation
1 Integer and Floating point Arithmatics
Integer arithmatic was done in 24 bit or 64 bit 2’s complement.Floating point numbers were represented in signed magnitude.
2 Vector operation and Chaining
Vectorization was acheived in CRAY-1...How??Chaining was another technique used by CRAY-1...So what??
