Claim 10:
11. A device comprising:
a set of registers configured to store a first set of vector elements, a second set of vector elements, and a third set of vector elements;
a first arithmetic unit configured to compare the first set of vector elements to the second set of vector elements to produce a first set of comparison bits;
a second arithmetic unit configured to compare the first set of vector elements to the third set of vector elements to produce a second set of comparison bits;
a predicate unit configured to determine whether each element of the first set of vector elements is within a range defined by a respective element of the second set of vector elements and a respective element of the third set of vector elements based on the first set of comparison bits and the second set of comparison bits; and
a third arithmetic unit configured to determine whether to perform an operation based on whether an element of the first set of elements is within the range defined by the respective element of the second set of vector elements and the respective element of the third set of vector elements.
