Patent

CA 2613404

A system and method is disclosed and includes an execution unit that can be used to count the leading zeros in a data word. During operation, the execution unit can receive a data word that has a width of 2 to the Nth power. Further, the execution unit can sign extend the data word to a temporary data word that has a width of 2 to the Mth power, wherein M is greater than N. The temporary data word can be input to a counter that has a width of 2 to the Mth power and the counter can count the leading zeros within the temporary data word to get a result.

Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé, comprenant une unité d'exécution servant à compter les zéros de gauche dans un mot de données. Pendant l'opération, l'unité d'exécution peut recevoir un mot de données ayant une largeur de 2 à la puissance N. L'unité d'exécution peut ensuite étendre le signe du mot de données pour former un mot de données temporaire ayant une largeur de 2 à la puissance M, M étant supérieur à N. Le mot de données temporaire peut être introduit dans un compteur ayant une largeur de 2 à la puissance M et le compteur peut compter les zéros de gauche dans le mot de données temporaire pour obtenir un résultat.
