    Abstract: This invention is data processing apparatus and method. Data is protecting from corruption using an error correction code by generating an error correction code corresponding to the data. In this invention the data and the corresponding error correction code are carried forward to another set of registers without regenerating the error correction code or using the error correction code for error detection or correction. Only later are error correction detection and correction actions taken. The differing data/error correction code registers may be in differing pipeline phases in the data processing apparatus. This invention forwards the error correction code with the data through the entire datapath that carries the data. This invention provides error protection to the whole datapath without requiring extensive hardware or additional time.

    Abstract: A streaming engine employed in a digital data processor specifies a fixed read only data stream recalled memory. Streams are started by one of two types of stream start instructions. A stream start ordinary instruction specifies a register storing a stream start address and a register of storing a stream definition template which specifies stream parameters. A stream start short-cut instruction specifies a register storing a stream start address and an implied stream definition template. A functional unit is responsive to a stream operand instruction to receive at least one operand from a stream head register. The stream template supports plural nested loops with short-cut start instructions limited to a single loop. The stream template supports data element promotion to larger data element size with sign extension or zero extension. A set of allowed stream short-cut start instructions includes various data sizes and promotion factors.

    Abstract: A streaming engine employed in a digital data processor specifies a fixed read only data stream. Once fetched data elements in the data stream are disposed in lanes in a stream head register in the fixed order. Some lanes may be invalid, for example when the number of remaining data elements are less than the number of lanes in the stream head register. The streaming engine automatically produces a valid data word stored in a stream valid register indicating lanes holding valid data. The data in the stream valid register may be automatically stored in a predicate register or otherwise made available. This data can be used to control vector SIMD operations or may be combined with other predicate register data.

    Abstract: A system, method, and device are shown that are operable to transform and align a plurality of fields from an input to an output data stream using a multilayer butterfly or inverse butterfly network by selectably switching bit positions of the input data stream. In some examples, a device includes a first circuit configured to selectably switch bit positions of a first subset of the data stream with a second subset of the data stream and a second circuit configured to: selectably switch bit positions of a first subset of the first subset of the data stream with a second subset of the first subset of the data stream, and selectably switch bit positions of a first subset of the second subset of the data stream with a second subset of the second subset of the data stream.
