Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method is described that includes reading a first read mask from a first register. The method also includes reading a first vector operand from a second register or memory location. The method also includes applying the read mask against the first vector operand to produce a set of elements for operation. The method also includes performing an operation of the set elements. The method also includes creating an output vector by producing multiple instances of the operation's result. The method also includes reading a first write mask from a third register, the first write mask being different than the first read mask. The method also includes applying the write mask against the output vector to create a resultant vector. The method also includes writing the resultant vector to a destination register.
