A method for locating an extreme value data chunk within a data block, the method includes: fetching, by a processor, an instruction; fetching, in response to a content of the instruction, a data unit that comprises multiple data chunks; selectively masking the fetched data chunks in response to a value of a mask; comparing, by a hardware accelerator, between values of valid data chunks to provide a extreme value data chunk; wherein valid data chunks include un-masked data chunks that belong to the data block; updating the value of the mask and jumping to the stage of fetching a new data unit, until the whole data block is fetched.
