Abstract
A computer comprising one or more processors offering vector instructions may implement a direct convolution on a source data set. The source data set may be one-dimensional or multi-dimensional. For a given vector width, w, of the vector instructions, w consecutive data elements of the output data set are computed in parallel using vector instructions. For multi-dimensional data sets, multiple vectors of the output data set are computed for a single load of a set of vectors from the source data set. New vector instructions are disclosed to improve the performance of the convolution and to enable full utilization of the arithmetic logic units within the one or more processors.
