摘要： A data processing apparatus and method are provided for performing rearrangement operations. The data processing apparatus has a register data store with a plurality of registers, each register storing a plurality of data elements. Processing circuitry is responsive to control signals to perform processing operations on the data elements. An instruction decoder is responsive to at least one but no more than N rearrangement instructions, where N is an odd plural number, to generate control signals to control the processing circuitry to perform a rearrangement process at least equivalent to: obtaining as source data elements the data elements stored in N registers of said register data store as identified by the at least one re-arrangement instruction; performing a rearrangement operation to rearrange the source data elements between a regular N-way interleaved order and a de-interleaved order in order to produce a sequence of result data elements; and outputting the sequence of result data elements for storing in the register data store. This provides a particularly efficient technique for performing N-way interleave and de-interleave operations, where N is an odd number, resulting in high performance, low energy consumption, and reduced register use when compared with known prior art techniques.

摘要： A data processing apparatus and method generate an initial estimate of a result value that would be produced by performing a reciprocal operation on an input value. The input value and the result value are either fixed point values or floating point values. The data processing apparatus comprises processing logic for executing instructions to perform data processing operations on data, and a lookup table referenced by the processing logic during generation of the initial estimate of the result value. The processing logic is responsive to an estimate instruction to reference the lookup table to generate, dependent on a modified input value that is within a predetermined range of values, a table output value. For a particular modified input value, the same table output value is generated irrespective of whether the input value is a fixed point value or a floating point value. The initial estimate of the result value is then derivable from the table output value. This provides a particularly efficient technique for performing the initial estimate generation within a data processing apparatus where the reciprocal operation may be performed on either fixed point values or floating point values.

摘要： A data processing apparatus includes a register data store that stores data elements, an instruction decoder that decodes an “arithmetic returning high half” instruction, and a data processor that performs data processing operations controlled by the instruction decoder. In response to the decoded arithmetic returning high half instruction, the data processor specifies within the register data store one or more source registers to store a plurality of source data elements of a first size, and one or more destination registers to store a corresponding plurality of resultant data elements of a second size. The second size is half the size of the first size. The processor also performs the following operations in parallel on the plurality of source data elements to produce the corresponding plurality of resultant data elements: perform an arithmetic operation on the source registers specified by the instruction to produce a plurality of corresponding intermediate result data elements, form the resultant data elements from information derived from a high half of a corresponding one of the plurality of intermediate result data elements, store the resultant data elements in the destination register.

摘要： The present invention provides a data processing apparatus and method for performing aligned access operations. The data processing apparatus comprises a register data store having a plurality of registers operable to store data elements, and a processor operable to perform a data processing operation on one or more data elements accessed in at least one of the registers. Further, access logic is provided which is operable in response to an access instruction to perform an access operation in order to move a number of data elements between specified registers and a portion of a memory, the portion having a start address specified by the access instruction. Further, the access instruction has an alignment specifier associated therewith which is settable either to a first value or one of a plurality of second values. The first value indicates that the start address is to be treated as byte aligned, and each of the second values indicates a different predetermined alignment that the start address is to be treated as conforming to. The access logic is then operable to adapt the access operation in dependence on the value of alignment specifier. This provides significantly improved flexibility in the performance of access operations.

摘要： The present invention provides an improved technique for communicating between a central processing unit and a graphics processing unit of a data processing apparatus. Shared memory is provided which is accessible by the central processing unit and the graphics processing unit, and via which data structures are shareable between the central processing unit and the graphics processing unit. A bus is also provided via which the central processing unit, graphics processing unit and shared memory communicate. In accordance with a first mechanism of controlling the graphics processing unit, the central processing unit routes control signals via the bus. However, in addition, an interface is provided between the central processing unit and the graphics processing unit, and in accordance with an additional mechanism for controlling the graphics processing unit, the central processing unit provides control signals over the interface. This enables the GPU to continue to be used to handle large batches of graphics processing operations loosely coupled with the operations performed by the CPU, whilst through use of the additional mechanism it is also possible to employ the GPU to perform processing operations on behalf of the CPU in situations where those operations are tightly coupled with the operations performed by the CPU.
