Abstract

A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor may comprise 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 complex arithmetic instructions. The computer processor may be implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit.
