Abstract: A device, system and method for assigning values to elements in a first register, where each data field in a first register corresponds to a data element to be written into a second register, and where for each data field in the first register, a first value may indicate that the corresponding data element has not been written into the second register and a second value indicates that the corresponding data element has been written into the second register, reading the values of each of the data fields in the first register, and for each data field in the first register having the first value, gathering the corresponding data element and writing the corresponding data element into the second register, and changing the value of the data field in the first register from the first value to the second value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a single compressed vector including two or more predetermined attribute values. For each of a plurality of data points such as pixels, if a first and a second attribute values of the data point are equal to a first and a second, respectively, of the two or more predetermined attribute values, the compressed vector is used to operate on the data point. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
