  • Method and apparatus for moving data in a parallel processor
    Patent number: 5727229
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for moving data in a parallel processing system (3). In one embodiment, a single instruction accesses one significant bit of information from each element in processing element array (80) and combines these bits into one designated element in global register file (50). The ordering of bits in vectors of global register file (50) associates each bit with an element of processing element array (80). Another single instruction distinguishes significant bit information from a particular vector in global register file (50) and transfers that information to an associated bit in storage circuits associated with each element in processing element array (80).
