FIELD: engineering of microprocessors and computer systems.
SUBSTANCE: in accordance to shuffling instruction, first operand is received, which contains a set of L data elements, and second operand, which contains a set of L shuffling masks, where each shuffling mask includes a "reset to zero" field and selection field, for each shuffling mask, if the "reset to zero" field of shuffling mask is not set, then data indicated by shuffling mask selection field are moved, from data element of first operand, into associated data element of result, and if "reset to zero" field of shuffling mask is set, then zero is placed in associated data element of result.
EFFECT: improved characteristics of processor and increased productivity thereof.
