Abstract: A method for executing different sets of instructions that cause a processor to perform different data type operations in a manner that is invisible to various operating system techniques, that promotes good programming practices, and that is invisible to existing software conventions. According to one aspect of the invention, a data processing apparatus executes a first set of instructions of a first instruction type on what at least logically appears to software as a single logical register file. While the data processing apparatus is executing the first set of instructions, the single logical register file appears to be operated as a flat register file. In addition, the data processing apparatus executes a first instruction of a second instruction type using the logical register file. However, while the data processing apparatus is executing the first instruction, the logical register file appears to be operated as a stack referenced register file. Furthermore, the data processing apparatus alters all tags in a set of tags corresponding to the single logical register file to a non-empty state sometime between starting the execution of the first set of instructions and completing the execution of the first instruction. The tags identifying whether registers in the single logical register file are empty or non-empty.

Abstract: A processor. The processor includes a decoder being coupled to receive a control signal. The control signal has a first source address, a second source address, a destination address, and an operation field. The first source address corresponds to a first location. The second source address corresponds to a second location. The destination address corresponds to a third location. The operation field indicates that a type of packed data shift operation is to be performed. The processor further includes a circuit being coupled to the decoder. The circuit is for shifting a first packed data being stored at the first location by a value being stored at the second location. The circuit is further for communicating a corresponding result packed data to the third location.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for including in a processor instructions for performing multiply-add operations on packed data. In one embodiment, a processor is coupled to a memory. The memory has stored therein a first packed data and a second packed data. The processor performs operations on data elements in said first packed data and said second packed data to generate a third packed data in response to receiving an instruction. At least two of the data elements in this third packed data storing the result of performing multiply-add operations on data elements in the first and second packed data.

Abstract: A processor having a first and second storage having a first and second packed data, respectively. Each packed data includes a first, second, third, and fourth data element. A multiply-add circuit is coupled to the first and second storage areas. The multiply-add circuit includes a first (810), second (811), third (812), and fourth multiplier (813), wherein each of the multipliers receives a corresponding set of said data elements. The multiply-add circuit further includes a first adder (850) coupled to the first and second multipliers (810, 811), and second adder (851) coupled to the third and fourth multipliers (812, 813). A third storage area (871) is coupled to the adders (850, 851). The third storage area (871) includes a first and second field for saving output of the first and second adders (850, 851), respectively, as first and second data elements of a third packed data.

Abstract: A computer system which manipulates audio and video signals. A multimedia input device which generates an audio and/or video signal is coupled to a processor. The processor is also coupled to a storage device upon which a decompression routine is stored, the decompression routine including a transposition routine. The transposition routine manipulates data elements associated with the audio or video signal in transposing an array of n rows of a plurality of data elements. The transposition routine causes the processor to interleave data elements from a first row with data elements from a second row to generate a first result. Data elements from a third row are interleaved with data elements from a fourth row to generate a second result. Then, data elements from the first result are interleaved with data elements from the second result to generate a third result.\!
