Abstract
A vector mask control unit and method of operating same prevents the unnecessary reading or arithmetic operation of operands corresponding to mask inhibitory bits by generating a total address increment value based on the number of consecutive operation-inhibitory bits counted by a counter, the total address increment value being composed of at least one increment value that is multiplied by a power of two. The total address increment value is added to a vector address to obtain an operand address. As a result, the efficient procession of masked vector instructions can be easily achieved.
