Abstract
The paper describes the architecture of the SPARK 2.0 processor and introduces a compiler for VectorPASCAL. Features of the architecture are the flexible address generation during vector operations and the large memories closely connected to the functional units. The source language allows programs to be written with vector statements avoiding scalar inner loops. The compiler employs several optimizing strategies to utilize the architectural benefits efficiently.<>
