Abstract
An apparatus and method for propagating conditionally evaluated values are disclosed. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: reading each value contained in an input mask register, each value being a true value or a false value and having a bit position associated therewith; for each true value read from the input mask register, generating a first result containing the bit position of the true value; for each false value read from the input mask register following the first true value, adding the vector length of the input mask register to a bit position of the last true value read from the input mask register to generate a second result; and storing each of the first results and second results in bit positions of an output register corresponding to the bit positions read from the input mask register.
