    摘要: In one example, a processor includes: at least one core to execute instructions; and at least one cache memory coupled to the at least one core, the at least one cache memory to store data, at least some of the data a copy of data stored in a memory. The at least one core is to determine whether to conditionally offload a sequence of instructions for execution on a compute circuit associated with the memory, based at least in part on whether one or more first data is present in the at least one cache memory, the one or more first data for use during execution of the sequence of instructions. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: This disclosure is directed to the problem of paralleling random read access within a reasonably sized block of data for a vector SIMD processor. The invention sets up plural parallel look up tables, moves data from main memory to each plural parallel look up table and then employs a look up table read instruction to simultaneously move data from each parallel look up table to a corresponding part a vector destination register. This enables data processing by vector single instruction multiple data (SIMD) operations. This vector destination register load can be repeated if the tables store more used data. New data can be loaded into the original tables if appropriate. A level one memory is preferably partitioned as part data cache and part directly addressable memory. The look up table memory is stored in the directly addressable memory.
