发明名称 Coalescing adjacent gather/scatter operations
摘要 According to one embodiment, a processor includes an instruction decoder to decode a first instruction to gather data elements from memory, the first instruction having a first operand specifying a first storage location and a second operand specifying a first memory address storing a plurality of data elements. The processor further includes an execution unit coupled to the instruction decoder, in response to the first instruction, to read contiguous a first and a second of the data elements from a memory location based on the first memory address indicated by the second operand, and to store the first data element in a first entry of the first storage location and a second data element in a second entry of a second storage location corresponding to the first entry of the first storage location.

主权项 1. A server comprising: a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface of the server; and a processor of the server, the processor comprising: a plurality of 64-bit general-purpose registers; a plurality of 128-bit single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) registers; a data cache to cache data; an instruction cache to cache instructions; an instruction fetch unit coupled to the instruction cache to fetch the instructions; a decode unit coupled to the instruction fetch unit, the decode unit to decode the instructions, including a first instruction, the first instruction to indicate a 128-bit operand size, the first instruction having a first field to specify a first 128-bit SIMD source register of the plurality of 128-bit SIMD registers, the first instruction having a second field to specify a 64-bit general-purpose register of the plurality of 64-bit general-purpose registers to store a base address, and the first instruction to indicate a data element width of 64-bits; and an execution unit coupled to the decode unit, coupled to the plurality of 128-bit SIMD registers, and coupled to the plurality of 64-bit general-purpose registers, the execution unit to execute the first instruction to: store a first structure and a second structure to a memory based on the base address, a first 64-bit data element of the first structure to include a first 64-bit data element of the first 128-bit SIMD source register, which is to be from least significant bits of the first 128-bit SIMD source register, a second 64-bit data element of the first structure to include a first 64-bit data element of a second 128-bit SIMD source register, which is to be from least significant bits of the second 128-bit SIMD source register, a third 64-bit data element of the first structure to include a first 64-bit data element of a third 128-bit SIMD source register, which is to be from least significant bits of the third 128-bit SIMD source register, wherein the first, second, and third 64-bit data elements of the first structure are to be consecutive data elements in the memory, a first 64-bit data element of the second structure to include a second 64-bit data element of the first 128-bit SIMD source register, a second 64-bit data element of the second structure to include a second 64-bit data element of the second 128-bit SIMD source register, and a third 64-bit data element of the second structure to include a second 64-bit data element of the third 128-bit SIMD source register, wherein the first, second, and third 64-bit data elements of the second structure are to be consecutive data elements in the memory.
