A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for image processing, and more specifically to vector units for supporting image processing is provided. A combined vector/scalar unit is provided wherein one or more processing lanes of the vector unit are used for performing scalar operations. An integrated register file is also provided for storing vector and scalar data. Therefore, the transfer of data to memory to exchange data between independent vector and scalar units is obviated and a significant amount of chip area is saved. |
