Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing stencil computations efficiently are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor receives an offset, and in response, retrieves a value from a memory via a single instruction, where the retrieving comprises: identifying, based on the offset, one of a plurality of registers of the processor; loading an address stored in the identified register; and retrieving from the memory the value at the address.
