Abstract
Techniques for performing a bit rake instruction in a programmable processor. The bit rake instruction extracts an arbitrary pattern of bits from a source register, based on a mask provided in another register, and packs and right justifies the bits into a target register. The bit rake instruction allows any set of bits from the source register to be packed together.
