System and method for performing shaped memory access operations

A subsystem for performing register memory operations, comprising:

• an instruction dispatch unit configured to:
• receive an instruction that is to be executed across a plurality of operands;
• organize the plurality of operands into one or more operand groups based on a location of each operand within a bank of register files;
• determine that a plurality of register files in which a first operand group is stored is accessible via a particular memory access pattern, wherein the plurality of register files is included in the bank of register files, and the first operand group is included in the one or more operand groups;
• form a shaped memory access operation corresponding to the particular memory access pattern;
• and
• perform the shaped memory access operation to access the plurality of operands from the plurality of register files.
