Techniques for a priority-based encoder that computes a minimum value or a maximum value of a plurality of values are disclosed. In various embodiments, a maximum value or a minimum value of a plurality of input values is determined. For each of a set of possible values, a corresponding detection result is set to indicate whether at least one of the input values matches the possible value. The detection result is used to determine a maximum value or a minimum value among the plurality of input values. 公开了计算多个值中最小值或最大值的基于优先级编码器的技术。在各个实施例中，确定多个输入值的最大值或最小值。对于一组可能值中的每一个，设置对应的检测结果以指示所述输入值中的至少一个是否与所述可能值匹配。检测结果用于确定多个输入值中的最大值或最小值。
