Abstract
A system for processing SIMD operands in a packed data format includes a scalar FMAC and a vector FMAC coupled to a register file through an operand delivery module. For vector operations, the operand delivery module bit steers a SIMD operand of the packed operand into an unpacked operand for processing by the first execution unit. Another SIMD operand is processed by the vector execution unit.
