摘要:
An apparatus is described having instruction execution logic circuitry. The instruction execution logic circuitry has input vector element routing circuitry to perform the following for each of three different instructions: for each of a plurality of output vector element locations, route into an output vector element location an input vector element from one of a plurality of input vector element locations that are available to source the output vector element. The output vector element and each of the input vector element locations are one of three available bit widths for the three different instructions. The apparatus further includes masking layer circuitry coupled to the input vector element routing circuitry to mask a data structure created by the input vector routing element circuitry. The masking layer circuitry is designed to mask at three different levels of granularity that correspond to the three available bit widths.

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.

A method of an aspect includes receiving a packed data operation mask register arithmetic combination instruction. The packed data operation mask register arithmetic combination instruction indicates a first packed data operation mask register, indicates a second packed data operation mask register, and indicates a destination storage location. An arithmetic combination of at least a portion of bits of the first packed data operation mask register and at least a corresponding portion of bits of the second packed data operation mask register is stored in the destination storage location in response to the packed data operation mask register arithmetic combination instruction. Other methods, apparatus, systems, and instructions are disclosed.

摘要:
Instructions and logic provide conversions between a mask register and a general purpose register or memory. Some embodiments, responsive to an instruction specifying: a destination operand, a mask length corresponding to a number of mask data fields, and a source operand; values are read from data fields in the source operand, corresponding to the specified mask length, and stored to corresponding data fields in the destination operand specified by the instruction, wherein one of the source or the destination operands is a mask register. Values indicative of masked vector elements may be stored to any data fields in the destination operand other than the number of data fields corresponding to the specified mask length. For some embodiments, the other one of the source or the destination operands may be a general purpose register or a memory location.
