IPC: G06F15/78
Filed: 2006-12-12
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for performing re-arrangement operations on data. The data processing apparatus has a register data store (4) with a plurality of registers for storing data, and processing logic for performing a sequence of operations on data including at least one re-arrangement operation. The processing logic has scalar processing logic for performing scalar operations and SIMD processing logic (18) for performing SIMD operations. The SIMD processing logic is responsive to a re-arrangement instruction specifying a family of re-arrangement operations to perform a selected re-arrangement operation from that family on a plurality of data elements constituted by data in one or more registers identified by the re-arrangement instruction. The selected re-arrangement operation is dependent on at least one parameter provided by the scalar processing logic, that parameter identifying a data element width (data width) for the data elements on which the selected re-arrangement operation is performed. By such an approach, significant code density improvements can be made in respect of the code executed by the SIMD processing logic.
