Vector Registers - Vector Registers - AM027

Vector registers are wide to allow SIMD instructions and to be used as operand storage. These registers are prefixed with a W. There are 24 x 256-bit registers: wln and whn, n = 0..11. Two W registers can be grouped to form a 512-bit register prefixed with an X. Two X registers then can be grouped to form a 1024-bit register with the prefix Y.
