      The current continuum mechanics problems require performing a large amount of computations to solve them. A significant portion of them – from 30% to 70% - is the calculation of EOSes. That’s why of a great importance in practice is the efficient arrangement of EOS calculations. The use of a vector computer complicates the task, because algorithms allowing the efficient use of vector calculations are available for differential equation systems describing the continuum mechanics problems, however, there are no general vector-form algorithms for the calculation of EOSes. The present paper offers a vector algorithm for the EOS calculation and discusses its implementation and performance.
