A processor includes an execution unit, a fault mask coupled to the execution unit, and a suppress mask coupled to the execution unit. The fault mask is to store a first plurality of bit values to indicate which elements of a multi-element vector have an associated fault generated in response to execution of an instruction on the element in the execution unit. The suppress mask is to store a second plurality of bit values to indicate which of the elements are to have an associated fault suppressed. The processor also includes counter logic to increment a counter in response to an indication of a first fault associated with the first element and received from the fault mask, and an indication of a first suppression associated with the first element and received from the suppress mask. Other embodiments are described as claimed.

Instructions and logic provide SIMD address conflict detection functionality. Some embodiments include processors with a register with a variable plurality of data fields, each of the data fields to store an offset for a data element in a memory. A destination register has corresponding data fields, each of these data fields to store a variable second plurality of bits to store a conflict mask having a mask bit for each offset. Responsive to decoding a vector conflict instruction, execution units compare the offset in each data field with every less significant data field to determine if they hold a matching offset, and in corresponding conflict masks in the destination register, set any mask bits corresponding to a less significant data field with a matching offset. Vector address conflict detection can be used with variable sized elements and to generate conflict masks to resolve dependencies in gather-modify-scatter SIMD operations.

Instructions and logic provide SIMD address conflict resolution with vector population count functionality. Some embodiments include processors with a register with a variable plurality of data fields, each of the data fields to store a variable second plurality of bits. A destination register has corresponding data fields, each of these data fields to store a count of the number of bits set to one for corresponding data fields. Responsive to decoding a vector population count instruction, execution units count the number of bits set to one for each of data fields in the register, and store the counts in corresponding data fields of the first destination register. Vector population count instructions can be used with variable sized elements and conflict masks to generate iteration counts and completion masks to be used each iteration to resolve dependencies in gather-modify-scatter SIMD operations.

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 that includes instruction execution circuitry to execute first, second, third, and fourth instructions, the first and second instructions select a first group of input vector elements from one of multiple first non-overlapping sections of respective first and second input vectors. Each of the multiple first non-overlapping sections have a same bit width as the first group. Both the third and fourth instructions select a second group of input vector elements from one of multiple second non overlapping sections of respective third and fourth input vectors. The second group has a second bit width that is larger than the first bit width. Each of multiple second non overlapping sections have a same bit width as the second group. The apparatus includes masking layer circuitry to mask the first and second groups at a first granularity and second granularity.
