ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for performing vertical parallel operations on packed data is described. A first set of data operands and a second set of data operands are accessed. Each of these sets of data represents graphical data stored in a first format. The first set of data operands is convereted into a converted set and the second set of data operands is replicated to generate a replicated set. A vertical matrix multiplication is performed on the converted set and the replicated set to generate transformed graphical data.
