ABSTRACT:
A method for simulating multiple instruction launch in a single-scalar computer system is disclosed. A video data signal having a plurality of data components arranged contiguously is reformatted by inserting overflow buffers between the data components such that they are no longer contiguous. The reformatted video data signal may then be operated on by a single instruction because there will be no propagation of a carryover value between contiguous data components. Upon completion of the instruction, the overflow buffers are checked to determine if overflow has occurred. If there has been overflow, overflow compensation is performed. After overflow compensation, or if there was none, the result of the instruction may be placed in an appropriate format for use in a display device.
