Abstract
A method of an aspect includes receiving an instruction indicating a destination storage location. A result is stored in the destination storage location in response to the instruction. The result includes a sequence of at least four consecutive non-negative integers in numerical order. In an aspect, the instruction does not indicate a source packed data operand having a plurality of packed data elements in an architecturally-visible storage location. Other methods, apparatus, systems, and instructions are disclosed.
