Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for managing vector element ordering. One technique includes setting one or more control bits that determine a vector element ordering and a vector element numbering, where the one or more control bits are stored in a machine status register or in a page table entry. The vector element ordering includes one of a big-endian mode and a little-endian mode, and the vector element numbering includes one of a big-endian mode and a little-endian mode. The technique includes reading the one or more control bits to determine a big-endian or a little-endian mode for the vector element ordering and for the vector element numbering. The technique also includes performing a vector operation in the determined mode for the vector element ordering and the determined mode for the vector element numbering.
