Abstract:
A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor may comprise a vector unit comprising a vector register file comprising at least one register to hold a varying number of elements. The computer processor may further comprise processing logic configured to operate on the varying number of elements in the vector register file using one or more instructions that separate a vector or combine two vectors. The computer processor may be implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit.
