Abstract
An opportunistic approach is described to accelerate certain memory copy operations to be performed by a computing engine by executing instructions. An instruction for a memory copy operation can be identified that has a first data type with a smaller number of bits per data element than supported by the computing engine to perform the copy operation. The instruction can be replaced with another instruction that has a second data type with a higher number of bits per data element based on the alignment of the memory addresses for the copy operation and the total number of data elements to be copied. The second data type may not only accelerate the copy operation but also provide better utilization of the underlying hardware of the computing engine.
