Abstract
There is provided an apparatus, method and medium for data processing. The apparatus comprises a register file comprising a plurality of data registers, and frontend circuitry responsive to an issued instruction, to control processing circuitry to perform a processing operation to process an input data item to generate an output data item. The processing circuitry is responsive to a first encoding of the issued instruction specifying a data register, to read the input data item from the data register, and/or write the output data item to the data register. The processing circuitry is responsive to a second encoding of the issued instruction specifying a buffer-region of the register file for storing a queue of data items, to perform the processing operation and to perform a dequeue operation to dequeue the input data item from the queue, and/or perform an enqueue operation to enqueue the output data item to the queue.
