Yup it's pretty much obvious. It's an extension of the usual superscalar architechtures, however this time you can look at the individual operands of a vector instruction, and not just the whole element. The good part: You can do this without breaking the patent if you don't have 'vector control instruction'. So basically you can do it automatically on the CPU side.
