A vector/scalar computer system has nodes interconnected by an interconnect network. Each node includes a vector execution unit, a scalar execution unit, physical vector registers, and a memory. The physical vector registers from the nodes together form an architectural vector register, which are references by vector applications. Memories from nodes together form an aggregate memory. The vector applications load memory vector elements from the memories to the physical vector registers, and store physical vector elements from the physical vector registers to the memories. The memory vector elements are interleaved among the memories of the nodes to reduce inter-node traffic during the loads and the stores.
