Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for processing non-vector micro-operations. In an aspect, a micro-operation processing apparatus may include a first execution unit configured to execute micro-operations and a second execution unit configured to execute micro-operations. The micro-operation processing apparatus may include a first multiplexer having an output operatively coupled to an input of the second execution unit. The micro-operation processing apparatus may include a first data input lane operatively coupled to an input of the first execution unit and a first input of the first multiplexer. The micro-operation processing apparatus may also include a second data input lane operatively coupled to a second input of the first multiplexer.
