摘要
An apparatus and method are provided for performing rearrangement operations and arithmetic operations on data. The data processing apparatus has processing circuitry for performing SIMD processing operations and scalar processing operations, a register bank for storing data and control circuitry responsive to program instructions to control the processing circuitry to perform data processing operations. The control circuitry is arranged to be responsive to a combined rearrangement arithmetic instruction to control the processing circuitry to perform a rearrangement operation and at least one SIMD arithmetic operation on a plurality of data elements stored in the register bank. The rearrangement operation is configurable by a size parameter derived at least in part from the register bank. The size parameter provides an indication of a number of data elements forming a rearrangement element for the purposes of the rearrangement operation. The associated method involves controlling processing circuitry to perform a rearrangement operation and at least one SIMD arithmetic operation in response to a combined rearrangement arithmetic instruction and providing the scalar logic size parameter to configure the rearrangement operation.
