Abstract

Vector processing systems and methods disclosed herein generate efficient vector initialization code that leverages performance advantages of single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) instructions and immediate operands. In some embodiments, a vector processing system scans existing code for initialization syntax that specifies values which match one or more target patterns. Where the vector processing system identifies one or more of these target patterns within the specified values, the vector processing system generates enhanced vector initialization code. This enhanced vector initialization code is configured to outperform vector initialization code that sequentially loads discrete values to discrete channels within a vector register.
