ABSTRACT:
An operation circuit for performing a population count. The operation circuit comprises a first circuit being coupled to receive a first data element. A first packed data includes the first data element and a second data element. Each of the data elements has a predetermined number of bits. The first circuit is for generating a first result data element representing a total number of bits set in the first data element. The operation circuit further comprises a second circuit being coupled to receive the second data element. The second circuit is for generating a second result data element representing a total number of bits set in the second data element.
