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 non-negative integers in numerical order with all integers in consecutive positions differing by a constant stride of at least two. In an aspect, storing the result including the sequence of the at least four integers is performed without calculating the at least four integers using a result of a preceding instruction. Other methods, apparatus, systems, and instructions are disclosed.
