Abstract
An approach is provided for implementing register based single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) lookup table operations. According to the approach, an instruction set architecture (ISA) can support one or more SIMD instructions that enable vectors or multiple values in source data registers to be processed in parallel using a lookup table or truth table stored in one or more function registers. The SIMD instructions can be flexibly configured to support functions with inputs and outputs of various sizes and data formats. Various approaches are also described for supporting very large lookup tables that span multiple registers.
