    Abstract: Apparatus and method for widened SIMD execution on a limited register file. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: instruction dispatch circuitry to dispatch instructions of a thread for execution, including a first instruction to indicate a start of a double execution instruction sequence and a second instruction to indicate an end of a double execution instruction sequence; and execution circuitry including single instruction multiple data (SIMD) circuitry, the execution circuitry to execute the double execution instruction sequence in a first pass using a first set of lanes of the SIMD circuitry and to execute the double execution instruction sequence in a second pass following the first pass using a second set of lanes of the SIMD circuitry.
