Abstract
A data movement apparatus (10) and method therefor include a register file (14) for storing data in a plurality of addressable locations. A register decoder (18) is connected to the register file (14) to modify addresses to access desired data. During move commands, data is not physically moved in the register file (14), but the register decoder (18) modifies a variable upon receiving the move command to correlate the new logical address to the physical location.
