Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computer system for providing a comparison result vector of a predefined number of elements w resulting from comparison of multiple vectors of compressed data within a processor comprising registers of same size m is provided. Vector elements of the comparison result vector are stored in a register of the registers. Zero bits are padded between vector elements of each of the comparison result vectors. A compare bit result vector indicative of the vector elements is generated for accessing the results of the comparison in the comparison result vector.
