Stateful Vector Group Permutation with Storage Reuse - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524149 titled 'Stateful Vector Group Permutation with Storage Reuse

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for stateful vector group permutation with storage reuse, involving operations on byte indices and completion flags to efficiently manipulate data elements.

  • Expanding an element index from a vector of indices to obtain byte indices for corresponding bytes of an element.
  • Storing the byte indices in an intermediate result operand buffer.
  • Updating bits in a completion flags buffer to indicate which bytes of the intermediate result operand buffer store indices.
  • Identifying bytes of an element of the vector of source data based on the stored byte indices.
  • Overwriting the byte indices in the buffer with the identified bytes.
  • Updating the completion flags buffer to indicate that the corresponding bytes store data to be written to the destination vector.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in data processing systems, image processing, cryptography, and any application requiring efficient manipulation of vector data.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient stateful vector group permutation with storage reuse, improving data processing performance and reducing memory overhead.

Benefits: - Enhanced data manipulation efficiency - Reduced memory usage - Improved performance in various applications

Commercial Applications: Stateful vector group permutation with storage reuse can be utilized in database management systems, image processing software, encryption algorithms, and other data-intensive applications to optimize data processing operations.

Prior Art: Prior research has focused on vector permutation algorithms and data manipulation techniques, but the specific approach of stateful vector group permutation with storage reuse as described in this patent application appears to be novel.

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of data processing algorithms and optimization techniques that could further enhance the efficiency and performance of stateful vector group permutation with storage reuse.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are disclosed for stateful vector group permutation with storage reuse. For example, some methods may include expanding an element index from a vector of indices to obtain byte indices for respective bytes of a corresponding element; storing the byte indices in corresponding bytes of an intermediate result operand buffer; updating bits in a completion flags buffer to indicate that the corresponding bytes of the intermediate result operand buffer store indices; identifying bytes of an element of the vector of source data pointed to by the element index based on the byte indices stored in the intermediate result operand buffer; overwriting the byte indices in the intermediate result operand buffer with the identified bytes; and, responsive to overwriting the byte indices, updating the corresponding bits in the completion flags buffer to indicate that the corresponding bytes store data to be written to the destination vector.
