Abstract
A processor and an operation method thereof may access a memory in multiple segments. The processor includes a vector register file (VRF) and a load-store device. When the load-store device performs a multi-segment load on the memory, the load-store device reads a plurality of data elements from a source segment of the memory, and then writes the data elements in the VRF within a single write cycle, so that the data elements are written in a same location in different vector registers of the VRF. When the load-store device performs a multi-segment store on the memory, the load-store device reads a plurality of data elements from the VRF within a single read cycle (the data elements are data elements of a same location in different vector registers), and then writes the data elements in a target segment of the memory.
