Systems, apparatuses, and methods for expand and compress

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for expanding and compressing vectors is described. In some embodiments, logic is to execute a vector expand (VPEXPANDBIT) instruction determine from each packed data element of the second source operand every bit position that has been set to indicate that a bit of data from a corresponding packed data element of the first source operand is to be written into a corresponding bit position in a packed data element of the destination operand, wherein the bits of data to be written in the destination packed data element are consecutive bits from the packed data element of the first source operand, and store consecutive bit values from each packed data element of the first source at the identified bit positions
