ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for implementing complex parallel instructions on a processor having a supported instruction set. Complex parallel instructions provide that an operation code, control logic, and input data is passed to a processor core. The operation code identifies the instruction used to process the input data and the control logic identifies the state of the instruction. An intervening instruction can be executed by a processor core even before execution of a complex parallel instruction is complete.
