Abstract
A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor comprise a vector unit comprising a vector register file comprising at least one vector register to hold a varying number of elements. The computer processor further comprises out-of-order issue logic that holds a pool of vector instructions, selects a vector instruction from the pool, and sends the vector instruction for execution. The vector instruction operates on the varying number of elements of the at least one vector register.
