ABSTRACT:
A vector processor including a vector register having a plurality of banks storing a plurality of elements of data, a plurality of vector operation units to perform a plurality of vector operations on the plurality of elements of data, a single mask register to store mask data indicating whether to mask the elements of data and controlling the vector operations performed on the elements of data by the plurality of vector operation units, a single decoder device, connected to the mask register, for generating a read address and a write address of the mask register, a serial-to-parallel converting device for receiving serial mask data from a second bus connected to the plurality of vector operation units, for converting the serial mask data into parallel mask data, and for writing the parallel mask data into the mask register at the write address generated by the decoder device, and a parallel-to-serial converting device for reading parallel mask data from the mask register at the read address generated by the decoder device, for converting the parallel mask data into serial mask data, and for outputting the serial mask data to the second bus.
