Multiple systems, multiple devices, and multiple methods for performing conflict detection and broadcasting multiple contents of a register to multiple data element locations of another register

摘要

The multiple systems, multiple devices, and multiple methods perform data broadcasting in a computer processor in response to a single vector pack broadcast instruction that includes a source write mask register operand, a destination vector register operand, and an opcode. In some embodiments, the data in the source write mask register is zero extended before broadcasting.
