Abstract
A data processor for storing vector data in multiple locations within the processor using a pointer value and a mask value. In one embodiment, a multi-entry input data register is used to receive input data to be provided to a plurality of processing elements. A pointer value is used to address the multi-entry input data register. A mask value may be used to provide the same data to a plurality of locations within the input data register.
