Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: circuitry to generate a plurality of re-aligned variants of one or more data bytes to be inserted into a stream of data words for a current one of a plurality of processing cycles successively processing the stream of data words; circuitry to generate for the current processing cycle a plurality of re-aligned portions of a current processing cycle input data word input from the stream; circuitry to generate for the current processing cycle a plurality of re-aligned portions of an immediately preceding processing cycle input data word previously input from the stream, wherein the immediately preceding processing cycle immediately precedes the current processing cycle and wherein the re-aligned portions reflect a net alignment impact cascaded from cycles prior to the immediately preceding processing cycle; a data merger coupled to the circuitry to select from the re-aligned portions and variants to form for the current processing cycle, a current processing cycle output data word to be outputted back into the stream; and a control section coupled to the circuitries and the data merger to control their operations.
