Abstract
According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a load/store unit, an execution unit, and a first and a second data path. The load/store unit may be configured to load/store data from/to a memory and transmit the data to/from an execution unit, wherein the data includes a plurality of elements. The execution unit may be configured to perform an operation upon the data. The load/store unit may be configured to transmit the data to/from the execution unit via either a first data path configured to communicate, without transposition, the data between the load/store unit and the execution unit, or a second data path configured to communicate, with transposition, the data between the load/store unit and the execution unit, wherein transposition includes dynamically distributing portions of the data amongst a plurality of elements according to an instruction.
