The present invention is generally related to integrated circuit devices, and more particularly, to methods, systems and design structures for the field of image processing, and more specifically to vector units for supporting image processing. A dual vector unit implementation is described wherein two vector units are configured receive data from a common register file. The vector units may independently and simultaneously process instructions. Furthermore, the vector units may be adapted to perform scalar operations thereby integrating the vector and scalar processing. The vector units may also be configured to share resources to perform an operation, for example, a cross product operation.
A design structure embodied in a non-transitory machine readable storage medium for at least one of designing, manufacturing, and testing a design, wherein the design structure resides on the storage medium as a data format used for an exchange of layout data of integrated circuits, the design structure, when implemented by executing instructions on a computer, provides elements comprising:
