"Instruction Overview
This chapter discusses the instructions that control vector operations.
Users can take advantage of these instructions to perform simultaneous
operations on multiple 16-bit values, including add, subtract, multiply,
shift, negate, pack, and search. Compare-Select and Add-On-Sign are also
included in this chapter."

Simultaneous operations on multiple 16-bit values...do you mean this by "dual-issue". I had thought, these vector operations are kind of SIMD...

Thank you for your input!
