Abstract
An apparatus includes a decode unit to decode a permute instruction and a vector conflict instruction. A vector execution unit is coupled with the decode unit and includes a fully-connected interconnect. The fully-connected interconnect has at least four inputs to receive at least four corresponding data elements of at least one source vector. The fully-connected interconnect has at least four outputs. Each of the at least four inputs is coupled with each of the at least four outputs. The execution unit also includes a permute instruction execution logic coupled with the at least four outputs and operable to store a first vector result in response to the permute instruction. The execution unit also includes a vector conflict instruction execution logic coupled with the at least four outputs and operable to store a second vector result in a destination storage location in response to the vector conflict instruction.
