Method, apparatus, and program means for shuffling data. The method of one embodiment comprises receiving a first operand having a set of L data elements and a second operand having a set of L control elements. For each control element, data from a first operand data element designated by the individual control element is shuffled to an associated resultant data element position if its flush to zero field is not set and a zero is placed into the associated resultant data element position if its flush to zero field is not set.

Method and apparatus for shuffling data

A method includes, in a processor, loading/moving a first portion of bits of a source into a first portion of a destination register and duplicate that first portion of bits in a subsequent portion of the destination register.

Load/move and duplicate instructions for a processor

An apparatus and method for performing a shuffle operation on packed data using computer-implemented steps is described. In one embodiment, a first packed data operand having at least two data elements is accessed. A second packed data operand having at least two data elements is accessed. One of the data elements in the first packed data operand is shuffled into a lower destination field of a destination register, and one of the data elements in the second packed data operand is shuffled into an upper destination field of the destination register.

Dual function system and method for shuffling packed data elements

Load/move duplicate instructions for a processor

Method, apparatus, and program means for rearranging data between multiple registers. The method of one embodiment comprises shuffling first set of packed data from a first source based on a first set of masks to produce a first set of shuffled data. The first set of masks is to include a first plurality of control entries to set designated data element positions in the first set of shuffled data to zero. A second packed data from a second source is shuffled based on a second set of masks to produce a second set of shuffled data. The second set of masks includes a second plurality of control entries to set to zero data element positions in the second set of shuffled data opposite to said designated data element positions in the first set of shuffled data. The first set of shuffled data and said second set of shuffled data are merged together to form a packed data resultant.
