Application No. 10/319,026
Inside Out (rev. ed. 1986). As found by the examiner, (Examiner's Answer at 5), Karp
teaches the following limitations of claim 21:
A circuit fig. 1
comprising a microprocessor, 22
the microprocessor comprising:
a register file comprising a plurality of registers fig. 2, 58, 42, 43, col. 2 lines 52-57
for
storing vector data
a vector transfer unit 60-62, 50-52, 64-66
[c]oupled to the register file 58, 42, 43
wherein the vector transfer unit comprises a 50, 51, 52, each buffer showing an
dual port memory for storing vector data and both an incoming and outgoing
port, two ports equaling "dual port"
a vector transfer execution unit coupled to the 70, 71, 72
dual port memory
wherein the vector transfer execution unit col. 4 lines 50-60, the disclosed
operates upon load/store and move vector "vector request instructions"
data instructions covers load, store, and move.
wherein the vector transfer execution unit 70, 71, 72
transfers vector data between a main memory 46, col. 6 line 48 to col. 8 line 7
and
the dual port memory 50, 51, 52
in response to the vector transfer execution 70, 71, 72
unit
executing a load/store vector data instruction col. 4 lines 50-60
wherein the vector transfer execution unit 70, 71, 72
transfer[s] vector data between the dual port 50, 51, 52
memory
and one or more registers of the register file 58, 42, 43
in response to the vector transfer execution col. 4 lines 50-60
unit executing a move vector data instruction
