Abstract
A hardware circuit component configured to support vector operations in a scalar data path. The hardware circuit component configured to operate in a vector mode configuration and in a scalar mode configuration. The hardware circuit component configured to split the scalar mode configuration into a left half and a right half of the vector mode configuration. The hardware circuit component configured to perform one or more bit shifts over one or more stages of interconnected multiplexers in the vector mode configuration. The hardware circuit component configured to include duplicated coarse shift multiplexers at bit positions that receive data from both the left half and the right half of the vector mode configuration, resulting in one or more coarse shift multiplexers sharing the bit position.
