DATA PROCESSOR AND METHOD FOR DATA PROCESSING

摘要

A integrated circuit device has at least one instruction processing module arranged for executing vector data processing upon receipt of a respective one of a set of data processing instructions. The data processing instructions include at least one matrix processing instruction for processing elements of a matrix. The elements of rows of the matrix are stored in a set of register, and the instruction processing module comprising an accessing unit for accessing selected elements of the matrix, which selected elements are non-sequentially located according to a predetermined pattern across multiple registers of the set of registers, the accessing enabling respective processing lanes to write or read different registers. Advantageously elements in columns of a matrix can efficiently be processed.
