Abstract
An apparatus includes a register file including a logical circuit. The register file is configured to perform one or more logical operations in conjunction with the logical circuit. The logical operation is performed in response to the register file receiving a register file control instruction. The register file control instruction is independent from an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) control instruction and a multiply-and-accumulate unit (MACU) control instruction.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a register file including a logical circuit, the register file configured to perform at least one logical operation in conjunction with the logical circuit in response to the register file receiving a register file control instruction.
A method comprising:
- receiving a register file control instruction;
- and
- performing at least one logical operation in conjunction with a logical circuit of a register file in response to the register file receiving the register file control instruction.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for storing information in a processor including a logical circuit, the storing means configured to perform at least one logical operation in conjunction with the logical circuit in response to the storing means receiving a control instruction;
- and
- means for processing results of the logical operation, the processing means being coupled to the storing means.
