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 9):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further operable for an unpacking operation wherein bit bundles in the plurality of second bit locations are unpacked to the plurality of first bit locations by reverse operation of the fixed bit packing network.
