Abstract

A processor including a decode unit to receive a vector indexed load plus arithmetic and/or logical (A/L) operation plus store instruction. The instruction is to indicate a source packed memory indices operand that is to have a plurality of packed memory indices. The instruction is also to indicate a source packed data operand that is to have a plurality of packed data elements. The processor also includes an execution unit coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to load a plurality of data elements from memory locations corresponding to the plurality of packed memory indices, perform A/L operations on the plurality of packed data elements of the source packed data operand and the loaded plurality of data elements, and store a plurality of result data elements in the memory locations corresponding to the plurality of packed memory indices.
