Abstract
A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor may comprises a vector unit comprising a vector register file comprising at least one register to hold a varying number of elements. The computer processor may further comprise processing logic configured to operate on the varying number of elements in the vector register file using one or more instructions that produce results with elements of widths different than that of the input elements. The computer processor may be implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit.
