Abstract

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for performing instructions structured to compute a min/max value of a vector. In one example, a processor executes a decoded single instruction to determine on a per data element position of the identified first and second operands a maximum or minimum, store the determined maximum or minimums in corresponding data element positions of the identified first operand, and determine and store, in each data element position of the identified third operand, an indication of where the maximum or minimum came from.
