ABSTRACT:
In a data processing system in which a processing unit can execute both scalar and vector instructions, the use of a single operand register file to store both the scalar operation operands and the vector operation operands is described. An instruction is included in the instruction repertoire in which a field is decremented (until a zero field is reached) to provide the next sequential operand address and to indicate that the prior operation is to be repeated on the next sequential operand.
