摘要:
An integrated circuit device comprising at least one digital signal processor (DSP) module, the at least one DSP module comprising a first data register and at least one further data register and at least one data execution unit (DEU) module arranged to execute operations on target data stored within the first data register and the at least one further data register. The at least one DEU module is arranged, upon receipt of a conditional negation instruction, to retrieve at least one conditional bit value from the first data register, and conditionally perform negation of target data within the at least one further data register according to the at least one retrieved conditional bit value.

A device is provided for computing a function value of a function F. The device includes a memory, a truncator unit, a selector unit, and an evaluator unit. The memory contains a look-up table comprising a set of entries, each entry having associated with it a domain and an approximation function for approximating F on the associated domain. The truncator unit is arranged to truncate or round a first value X1 to generate a second value X2. The selector unit is arranged to select an entry of the lookup-table according to the second value X2, thus selecting the approximation function that is associated with the selected entry. The evaluator unit is arranged to determine the function value of the selected approximation function at the first value X1.

An integrated circuit device comprises at least one digital signal processor, DSP, module, the at least one DSP module comprising a plurality of data registers and at least one data execution unit, DEU, module arranged to execute operations on data stored within the data registers. The at least one DEU module is arranged to, in response to receiving an extreme value index instruction, compare a previous extreme value located within a first data register set of the DSP module with at least one input vector data value located within a second data register set of the DSP module, and determine an extreme value thereof. The at least one DEU module is further arranged to, if the determined extreme value comprises an input vector data value located within the second data register set, store the determined extreme value in the first data register set, determine an index value for the determined extreme value, and store the determined index value in the first data register set.
