Abstract
A generalized, programmable dataflow state-machine is provided to receive information about a particular string instruction. The string instruction is parsed into all the operations contained in the string instruction. The operations that make up the string instruction are routed to parallel functional units and executed. The state-machine manipulates the size of the operations in the string instruction and whether or not the instructions need to be generated.
