Abstract: A programmable processor and method for improving the performance of processors by expanding at least two source operands, or a source and a result operand, to a width greater than the width of either the general purpose register or the data path width. The present invention provides operands which are substantially larger than the data path width of the processor by using the contents of a general purpose register to specify a memory address at which a plurality of data path widths of data can be read or written, as well as the size and shape of the operand. In addition, several instructions and apparatus for implementing these instructions are described which obtain performance advantages if the operands are not limited to the width and accessible number of general purpose registers.

Abstract: A programmable processor and system for improving the performance of processors by incorporating an execution unit operable to decode and execute single instructions specifying three registers each containing a plurality of data elements, the execution unit operable to multiply the first and second registers and add the third register to produce a catenated result containing a plurality of data elements. Additional instructions provide group floating-point subtract, add, multiply, set less, and set greater equal operations. The set less and set greater equal operations produce alternatively zero or an identity element for each element of a catenated result, the result facilitating alternative selection of individual data elements using bitwise Boolean operations and without requiring conditional branch operations.
