PROCESSORS, METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND INSTRUCTIONS TO GENERATE SEQUENCES OF INTEGERS IN WHICH INTEGERS IN CONSECUTIVE POSITIONS DIFFER BY A CONSTANT INTEGER STRIDE AND WHERE A SMALLEST INTEGER IS OFFSET FROM ZERO BY AN INTEGER OFFSET

摘要

A method of an aspect includes receiving an instruction. The instruction indicates an integer stride, indicates an integer offset, and indicates a destination storage location. A result is stored in the destination storage location in response to the instruction. The result includes a sequence of at least four integers in numerical order with a smallest one of the at least four integers differing from zero by the integer offset and with all integers of the sequence in consecutive positions differing by the integer stride. Other methods, apparatus, systems, and instructions are disclosed.
