Thus, one efficient embodiment of a packed shuffle instruction having byte granularity and a flush to zero option can have different and greater impact across processor generations. Simply adding more resources in modem processor architectures alone does not guarantee better performance improvement. By also maintaining the efficiency of applications like one embodiment of the parallel table lookup and the packed byte shuffle instruction (PSHUFB), larger performance improvements can be possible.
