Claim 12:
13. A method comprising:
receiving a first vector that includes a first set of elements;
receiving a second vector that includes a second set of elements;
receiving a third vector that includes a third set of elements;
comparing, using a first arithmetic unit, each element of the first set of elements to a corresponding element of the second set of elements to determine whether the respective element of the first set of elements is greater than the corresponding element of the second set of elements to produce a first set of comparison bits;
comparing, using a second arithmetic unit, each element of the first set of elements to a corresponding element of the third set of elements to determine whether the respective element of the first set of elements is less than the corresponding element of the third set of elements to produce a second set of comparison bits; and
determining, using a predication unit, whether each element of the first set of elements is within a range defined by the corresponding element of the second set of elements and the corresponding element of the third set of elements based on the first set of comparison bits and the second set of comparison bits.
