Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an instruction mapping table, which includes a plurality of instruction counts and a plurality of instruction pointers each corresponding with one of the instruction counts. Each instruction pointer identifies a next instruction for execution. Further, each instruction count specifies a number of instructions to execute beginning with the next instruction. The apparatus also has a data operation unit adapted to receive a data group and adapted to execute on the received data group the number of instructions specified by a current instruction count of the instruction mapping table beginning with the next instruction identified by a current instruction pointer of the instruction mapping table before proceeding with another data group.
