==VECTOR SIMD VLIW DATA PATH ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18594461 titled 'VECTOR SIMD VLIW DATA PATH ARCHITECTURE

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

This patent application describes a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) digital signal processor designed for Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) operations on various operand widths and data sizes. It includes a vector compare instruction, a vector conditional instruction, and a predicate unit for processing data in predicate data registers.

* The VLIW digital signal processor is optimized for SIMD operations on different operand widths and data sizes.
* It includes a vector compare instruction that compares two operands and stores compare bits.
* A vector conditional instruction allows conditional operations based on a predicate data register bit.
* The predicate unit performs data processing operations on data in predicate data registers, including unary and binary operations.
* The predicate unit can transfer data between general data registers and predicate data registers.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':

* VLIW digital signal processor for SIMD operations
* Vector compare instruction for operand comparison
* Vector conditional instruction for conditional operations
* Predicate unit for data processing in predicate data registers
* Transfer of data between general data registers and predicate data registers

2. Another relevant generic question, with a detailed answer.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) digital signal processor particularly adapted for single instruction multiple data (SIMD) operation on various operand widths and data sizes. A vector compare instruction compares first and second operands and stores compare bits. A companion vector conditional instruction performs conditional operations based upon the state of a corresponding predicate data register bit. A predicate unit performs data processing operations on data in at least one predicate data register including unary operations and binary operations. The predicate unit may also transfer data between a general data register file and the predicate data register file.
