Abstract
Custom operations are useable in processor systems for performing functions including multimedia functions. These custom operations enhance a system, such as PC system, to provide real-time multimedia capabilities while maintaining advantages of a special-purpose, embedded solution, i.e., low cost and chip count, and advantages of a general-purpose processor reprogramability. These custom operations work in a computer system which supplies input data having at least two operand data, performs operations on the operand data, and supplies result data to a destination register.
