ABSTRACT:
A data processing apparatus and method are provided for performing in parallel a data processing operation on data elements. The data processing apparatus comprises a register data store having a plurality of registers operable to store data elements, and processing logic operable to perform data processing operations on data elements. A decoder is operable to decode a data processing instruction, the data processing instruction identifying a lane size and a data element size, the lane size being a multiple of the data element size. Further, the decoder is operable to control the processing logic to define based on the lane size a number of lanes of parallel processing in at least one of the registers, and the processing logic is operable to perform in parallel a data processing operation on the data elements within each lane of parallel processing. This provides significantly improved flexibility in the performance of SIMD operations.
