Patent number: 10133577Abstract: A processor includes an instruction schedule and dispatch (schedule/dispatch) unit to receive a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instruction to perform an operation on multiple data elements stored in a storage location indicated by a first source operand. The instruction schedule/dispatch unit is to determine a first of the data elements that will not be operated to generate a result written to a destination operand based on a second source operand. The processor further includes multiple processing elements coupled to the instruction schedule/dispatch unit to process the data elements of the SIMD instruction in a vector manner, and a power management unit coupled to the instruction schedule/dispatch unit to reduce power consumption of a first of the processing elements configured to process the first data element.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jesus Corbal, Dennis R.

Patent number: 9766886Abstract: Instructions and logic provide vector linear interpolation functionality. In some embodiments, responsive to an instruction specifying: a first operand from a set of vector registers, a size of each of the vector elements, a portion of the vector elements upon which to compute linear interpolations, a second operand from a set of vector registers, and a third operand; an execution unit, reads a first, a second and a third value of the size of vector elements from corresponding data fields in the first, the second and the third operand respectively and computes an interpolated value as the first value multiplied by the second value minus the second value multiplied by the third value plus the third value.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jesus Corbal, Andrew T.

Patent number: 9733935Abstract: A method of processing an instruction is described that includes fetching and decoding the instruction. The instruction has separate destination address, first operand source address and second operand source address components. The first operand source address identifies a location of a first mask pattern in mask register space. The second operand source address identifies a location of a second mask pattern in the mask register space. The method further includes fetching the first mask pattern from the mask register space; fetching the second mask pattern from the mask register space; merging the first and second mask patterns into a merged mask pattern; and, storing the merged mask pattern at a storage location identified by the destination address.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jesus Corbal, Andrew T.
