Abstract: A device system and method for processing program instructions, for example, to execute intra vector operations. A fetch unit may receive a program instruction defining different operations on data elements stored at the same vector memory address. A processor may include different types of execution units each executing a different one of a predetermined plurality of elemental instructions. Each program instruction may be a combination of one or more of the elemental instructions. The processor may receive a vector of data elements stored non-consecutively at the same vector memory address to be processed by a same one of the elemental instructions and a vector of configuration values independently associated with executing the same elemental instruction on the non-consecutive data elements. At least two configuration values may be different to implement different operations by executing the same elemental instruction using the different configuration values on the vector of non-consecutive data elements.

Abstract: A system, processor, and method for multiplying multi-dimensional data, for example, matrices, stored in vector memories. Each data element in a vector memory representing a sequential single element in a row of a left operand data array may be multiplied with a respective vector in a vector memory representing a sequential row in the right operand data array. The memory element representing the left operand element may be multiplied with the memory vector representing the right operand row that is in the same sequential order. A plurality of vectors of product elements may be generated by the multiplying. A single product element from each of the plurality of vectors of product elements may be added to a sum of product elements to generate each respective element in the same sequential order in a row of a product data array to generate a vector of a complete row of elements of the product data array.
