Abstract
Apparatuses and methods of data processing are disclosed. An apparatus comprises two data processing clusters each having multiple data processing lanes to perform single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processing. Decoded instructions are issued to at least one of the two data processing clusters. A decoded SIMD instruction specifying a vector length which is more than the width of the data processing lanes of the first data processing cluster has a first part issued to the first data processing cluster for execution. An issuance target for a second remaining part of the decoded SIMD instruction is selected in dependence on a dynamic performance condition. When the dynamic performance condition has a first state the issuance target is the first data processing cluster and when the dynamic performance condition has a second state the issuance target is the second data processing cluster. When the issuance target is the first data processing cluster, to schedule the first and second parts of the decoded SIMD instruction in series.
