The present disclosure relates to a data processing method, a data processing apparatus, and related products. The data processing apparatus includes an address determining unit and a data storage unit. The address determining unit is configured to determine a source data address and a plurality of discrete destination data addresses of data corresponding to a processing instruction when the decoded processing instruction is a discrete store instruction, where the source data address may include continuous data addresses. The data storage unit is configured to obtain a plurality of pieces of discrete data by sequentially storing data read from the source data address to the plurality of destination data addresses.

Data processing method and apparatus, and related product

The present disclosure relates to a data processing apparatus and related products. The data processing apparatus includes a decoding unit, a discrete-address determining unit, a continuous-data caching unit, a data read/write unit, and a storage unit. Through the data processing apparatus, the processing instruction may be decoded and executed. Discrete data may be transferred to a continuous data address, or continuous data may be stored to multiple discrete data addresses. As such, a vector computation of discrete data and vector data restoration after the vector computation may be implemented, which may simplify a processing process, thereby reducing data overhead.

Data processing apparatus and related product

A data processing device and related products are provided. The data processing device includes: a decoding unit, a discrete address determining unit, a continuous data caching unit, a data read/write unit, and a storage unit. Through the data processing device, the processing instruction may be decoded and executed, and the discrete data may be transferred to a continuous data address, or the continuous data may be stored to a plurality of discrete data addresses. As such, a vector computation of the discrete data and vector data restoration after the vector computation may be implemented, which may simplify a processing process, thereby reducing data overheads. In addition, according to the embodiments of the disclosure, when the discrete data is read, by caching a storage address corresponding to a read request, a read request of each piece of data may be merged to read one or more pieces of discrete data, thereby improving reading efficiency of the data.
