Abstract

A microprocessor includes a memory interface to obtain data envelopes of a first length, and control logic to implement an instruction to load an initial data envelope of a stream of data values into a buffer, each data value having a second length shorter than the first length, the stream of data values being disposed across successive data envelopes at the memory interface. Another instruction merges current contents of the buffer and the memory interface such that each invocation loads one of the data values into a first register, and moves at least a remainder of the current contents of the memory interface into the buffer for use in a successive invocation. Another instruction loads a reversed representation of a set of data values obtained via the memory interface into a second register. Another instruction implements an FIR computation including a SIMD operation involving multiple data values of the stream and the reversed representation.
