Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for bit packing data having various bit widths in a computer system. The methods and apparatus utilize a fixed bit packing or unpacking network that is configured to pack or unpack data bits of a number of different bit widths from a first number of bit locations to a second number of bit locations in the computer system. The network is specifically configured to pack bits stored in a same bit slot position in respective bit locations of the first number of bit locations by routing the bits into bit slots of a same bit location in the second number of bit locations to form bit bundles in respective ones of the second number of bit locations. Use of a fixed packing network affords optimal matching of bit width to an application that minimizes cost, area, and power, as well as decreasing or minimizing latency.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus configured for bit packing data having various bit widths in a computer system, the apparatus comprising:\n a first plurality of bit locations in the computer system, the first plurality of bit locations each having a predetermined number of bit slots and temporarily storing one or more bits in respective slots of the predetermined number of bit slots, the predetermined number of bits corresponding to one of a number of different data bit widths; and a fixed bit packing network configured to pack data bits of a number of different bit widths from the first plurality of bit locations to a second plurality of bit locations in the computer system, wherein the network is configured to pack bits stored in a same bit slot position in respective bit locations of the first plurality of bit locations by routing the bits into bit slots of a same bit location in the second plurality of bit locations to form bit bundles in respective ones of the second plurality of bit locations.
