Abstract
A method for storing data at contiguous memory addresses includes, at a single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) processor, executing a parallel-prefix valid count instruction to determine a first offset of a first data vector and to determine a second offset of a second data vector that includes valid data and invalid data. The second offset is based on the first offset and a number of positions in the first data vector that are associated with valid data. The method also includes storing first valid data from the first data vector at a first memory address of a memory and storing second valid data from the second data vector at a particular memory address of the memory. The first memory address is based on the first offset and the particular memory address is based on the second offset.
