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 a first source operand and a second source operand based on index values stored in destination operand to be copied to data element positions within the destination operand, wherein any one of the data elements from either the first source operand and the second source operand may be copied to any one of the data element positions within the destination operand; and 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： 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.

摘要： An apparatus and method are described for broadcasting from a general purpose source register to a destination vector register. For example, a method according to one embodiment includes the following operations: selecting data element position N within the destination vector register to be updated; broadcasting a set of data from the general purpose source register to data element position N within the destination vector register if a mask indicator is set to a first indication; and either copying zeroes to data element position N within the destination vector register or maintaining existing values stored within data element position N within the destination vector register if the mask indicator is set to a second indication.
