Abstract:
An apparatus is described having instruction execution logic circuitry to execute first, second, third and fourth instruction. Both the first instruction and the second instruction insert a first group of input vector elements to one of multiple first non overlapping sections of respective first and second resultant vectors. The first group has a first bit width. Each of the multiple first non overlapping sections have a same bit width as the first group. Both the third instruction and the fourth instruction insert a second group of input vector elements to one of multiple second non overlapping sections of respective third and fourth resultant vectors. The second group has a second bit width that is larger than said first bit width. Each of the multiple second non overlapping sections have a same bit width as the second group. The apparatus also includes masking layer circuitry to mask the first and third instructions at a first resultant vector granularity, and, mask the second and fourth instructions at a second resultant vector granularity.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for performing a vector bit shuffle. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a first vector register to store a plurality of source data elements; a second vector register to store a plurality of control elements, each of the control elements comprising a plurality of bit fields, each bit field to be associated with a corresponding bit position in a destination mask register and to identify a bit from each of the source data elements to be copied to each of the particular bit positions; and vector bit shuffle logic to read each bit field from the second vector register to identify a bit from each of the source data elements and to responsively copy the bit from each of the source data elements to each of the corresponding bit positions in the destination mask register.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for performing a vector bit gather. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a first vector register to store one or more source data elements; a second vector register to store one or more control elements, each of the control elements comprising a plurality of bit fields, each bit field to be associated with a corresponding bit position in a destination vector register and to identify a bit from the one or more source data elements to be copied to each of the particular bit positions; and vector bit gather logic to read each bit field from the second vector register to identify a bit from the one or more source data elements and to responsively copy the bit from each of the one or more source data elements to each of the corresponding bit positions in the destination vector register.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for performing a vector permute. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a source vector register to store a plurality of source data elements; a destination vector register to store a plurality of destination data elements; a control vector register to store a plurality of control data elements, each control data element corresponding to one of the destination data elements and including an N bit value indicating whether a source data element is to be copied to the corresponding destination data element; vector permute logic to compare the N bit value of each control data element to an N bit portion of an immediate to determine whether to copy a source data element to the corresponding destination data element, wherein if the N bit values match, then the vector permute logic is to identify a source data element using an index value included in the control data element and to responsively copy the source data element to the corresponding destination data element in the destination vector register.
