Abstract
Systems and methods that provide reconfigurable shifter configurations supporting multiple instruction, multiple data (MIMD) are described. Shifters implemented according to embodiments support multiple data shifts with respect to an instance of data shifting, wherein multiple individual different data shifts are implemented at a time in parallel. Reconfigurable segmented scalable shifters of embodiments, in addition being reconfigurable for scalability in supporting data shifting with respect to various bit lengths of data, are configured to support data shifting of differing bit lengths in parallel. The data shifters of embodiments implement segmentation for facilitating data shifting with respect to differing bit lengths. Different data shift commands may be provided with respect to each such segment, thereby facilitating multiple data shifts in parallel with respect to various bit lengths of data. Reconfigurable segmented scalable shifter configurations provide for fully reconfigurable data width and shift command of each message of input data.
