Abstract
In a vector processing system for processing vector calculations utilizing a portion of a vector comprising a plurality of elements, means for receiving a vector and a vector processing command are provided. The vector processing system also includes means for receiving and storing a start-element value and an end-element value. An arithmetic logic unit is coupled to the means for receiving the vector, the means for receiving the vector processing command, and the means for receiving the start-element and end-element values. The arithmetic logic unit also includes means for executing the vector processing command utilizing only one or more of the elements in the vector, which are selected by the start-element value and the end-element value.
