The present disclosure discloses an instruction processing apparatus, comprising a first vector register adapted to store a first vector to be operated on, a second vector register adapted to store a second vector to be operated on, a decoder adapted to receive and decode a data splicing instruction, and an execution unit. The data splicing instruction indicates the first vector register as a first operand, the second vector register as a second operand, a splicing indicator, and a destination. The execution unit is coupled to the first vector register, the second vector register, and the decoder, and is adapted to execute the decoded data splicing instruction, so as to acquire a first part of the first vector from the first vector register and acquire a second part of the second vector from the second vector register according to the splicing indicator, splice the acquired first part of the first vector and the acquired second part of the second vector to form a third vector, and store the third vector into the destination.
