ABSTRACT:
A wide data width processor has an execution unit including an aligner that aligns data for load/store instructions and shifts or rotates data for arithmetic logic instructions. Use of the same circuitry and execution unit for these different types of instructions reduces overall circuit size because alignment circuitry need not be repeated, once in a load/store unit and once in an arithmetic logic unit.
