Vector blend and permute functionality are provided, responsive to instructions specifying: a destination vector register comprising fields to store vector elements, a first vector register, a vector element size, a second vector register, and a third operand. Indices are read from fields in the second register. Each index has a first selector portion and a second selector portion. Corresponding unmasked vector elements are stored to fields of the destination register, wherein each vector element, responsive to the respective first selector portion having a first value, is copied to an intermediate vector from a corresponding data field of the first register, and responsive to the respective first selector portion having a second value, is copied to the intermediate vector from a corresponding data field of the third operand. Then unmasked data fields of the destination are replaced by data fields in the intermediate vector indexed by the corresponding second selector portions.

According to a first aspect, efficient data transfer operations can be achieved by: decoding by a processor device, a single instruction specifying a transfer operation for a plurality of data elements between a first storage location and a second storage location; issuing the single instruction for execution by an execution unit in the processor; detecting an occurrence of an exception during execution of the single instruction; and in response to the exception, delivering pending traps or interrupts to an exception handler prior to delivering the exception.

Instructions and logic provide conversions between a mask register and a general purpose register or memory. Some embodiments, responsive to an instruction specifying: a destination operand, a mask length corresponding to a number of mask data fields, and a source operand; values are read from data fields in the source operand, corresponding to the specified mask length, and stored to corresponding data fields in the destination operand specified by the instruction, wherein one of the source or the destination operands is a mask register. Values indicative of masked vector elements may be stored to any data fields in the destination operand other than the number of data fields corresponding to the specified mask length. For some embodiments, the other one of the source or the destination operands may be a general purpose register or a memory location.
摘要:
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.
