Sequentially packing mask selected bits from plural words in circularly coupled register pair for transferring filled register bits to memory

摘要

An apparatus having a first circuit and a second circuit is disclosed. The first circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of packed items by extracting-and-packing a plurality of input data words based on a bit mask. The second circuit may be configured to (i) receive the packed items from the first circuit, (ii) sequentially buffer the packed items in a plurality of registers, at least one of the packed items crossing a boundary between a current one of the registers and a next one of the registers, and (iii) write the packed items in the current register to a memory in response to the current register becoming full.
