Che cosa significa "indirizzo traduzioni" nel discutere i vantaggi dei processori vettoriali?

Dalla citazione da Wikipedia , qui "traduzioni di indirizzi" significa la traduzione dall'indirizzo di memoria virtuale a quello fisico indirizzo di memoria?

Vector processors take this concept one step further. Instead of pipelining just the instructions, they also pipeline the data itself. The processor is fed instructions that say not just to add A to B, but to add all of the numbers "from here to here" to all of the numbers "from there to there". Instead of constantly having to decode instructions and then fetch the data needed to complete them, the processor reads a single instruction from memory, and it is simply implied in the definition of the instruction itself that the instruction will operate again on another item of data, at an address one increment larger than the last. This allows for significant savings in decoding time.

To illustrate what a difference this can make, consider the simple task of adding two groups of 10 numbers together. In a normal programming language one would write a "loop" that picked up each of the pairs of numbers in turn, and then added them. To the CPU, this would look something like this:

execute this loop 10 times
  read the next instruction and decode it
  fetch this number
  fetch that number
  add them
  put the result here
end loop

But to a vector processor, this task looks considerably different:

read instruction and decode it
fetch these 10 numbers
fetch those 10 numbers
add them
put the results here

There are several savings inherent in this approach. For one, only two address translations are needed. Depending on the architecture, this can represent a significant savings by itself. Another saving is fetching and decoding the instruction itself, which has to be done only one time instead of ten. The code itself is also smaller, which can lead to more efficient memory use.
