    摘要: An apparatus and method are described for permuting data elements with masking. For example, a method according to one embodiment includes the following operations: reading values from a mask data structure to determine whether masking is implemented for each data element of a destination operand; if masking not implemented for a particular data element, then selecting data elements from the destination operand and a second source operand based on index values stored in a first source operand to be copied to data element positions within the destination operand, wherein any one of the data elements from either the destination operand and the second source operand may be copied to any one of the data element positions within the destination operand; if masking is implemented for a particular data element of the destination operand, then performing a designated masking operation with respect to that particular data element.

    摘要: When legacy instructions, that can only operate on smaller registers, are mixed with new instructions in a processor with larger registers, special handling and architecture are used to prevent the legacy instructions from causing problems with the data in the upper portion of the registers, i.e., the portion that they cannot directly access. In some embodiments, the upper portion of the registers are saved to temporary storage while the legacy instructions are operating, and restored to the upper portion of the registers when the new instructions are operating. A special instruction may also be used to disable this save/restore operation if the new instruction are not going to use the upper part of the registers.

    摘要: 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.
