ABSTRACT:
An aspect of the present invention provides a method of processing unaligned data in a microprocessor including, storing a first part of the unaligned data in a first register, storing a second part of the unaligned data in a second register, calculating a shift amount applied to the unaligned data, concatenating the data stored in the first and second registers, shifting the concatenated data by the calculated shift amount, and storing the shifted result in one of the first and second registers.
