Abstract:
An apparatus and method are described for performing efficient Boolean operations in a pipelined processor which, in one embodiment, does not natively support three operand instructions. For example, in one embodiment, a processor comprises: a set of registers for storing packed operands; Boolean operation logic to execute a single instruction which uses three or more source operands packed in the set of registers, the Boolean operation logic to read at least three source operands and an immediate value to perform a Boolean operation on the three source operands, wherein the Boolean operation comprises: combining a bit read from each of the three operands to form an index to the immediate value, the index identifying a bit position within the immediate value; reading the bit from the identified bit position of the immediate value; and storing the bit from the identified bit position of the immediate value in a destination register.
Abstract:
A processor includes a plurality of registers, an instruction decoder to receive an instruction to process a KECCAK state cube of data representing a KECCAK state of a KECCAK hash algorithm, to partition the KECCAK state cube into a plurality of subcubes, and to store the subcubes in the plurality of registers, respectively, and an execution unit coupled to the instruction decoder to perform the KECCAK hash algorithm on the plurality of subcubes respectively stored in the plurality of registers in a vector manner.
Abstract:
Technologies for executing a serial data processing algorithm on a single variable-length data buffer includes padding data segments of the buffer, streaming the data segments into a data register and executing the serial data processing algorithm on each of the segments in parallel.
Abstract:
The disclosure includes, in general, among other aspects, an apparatus having multiple programmable units integrated within a processor. The apparatus has circuitry to map addresses in a single address space to resources within the multiple programmable units where the single address space includes addresses for different ones of the resources in different ones of the multiple programmable units and where there is a one-to-one correspondence between respective addresses in the single address space and resources within the multiple programmable units.
