Abstract
A method, computer program product, and system perform computations using a processor. A first instruction including a first index vector operand and a second index vector operand is received and the first index vector operand is decoded to produce first coordinate sets for a first array, each first coordinate set including at least a first coordinate and a second coordinate of a position of a non-zero element in the first array. The second index vector operand is decoded to produce second coordinate sets for a second array, each second coordinate set including at least a third coordinate and a fourth coordinate of a position of a non-zero element in the second array. The first coordinate sets are summed with the second coordinate sets to produce output coordinate sets and the output coordinate sets are converted into a set of linear indices.
