| Transfer Length (`TL=`): Transfer length is the number of elements logically transferred at one time. A primitive typically processes one transfer length of elements at a time. Consume Length (`CL=`): The consume length is the number of elements "digested" by the primitive in conjunction with each transfer length. Typically consume length is equal to transfer length. (Top row in diagram) The consume length can be larger than the transfer length. In this case `CL-TL` elements are skipped over between each transfer. (Middle row in diagram) The consume length can also be smaller than the transfer length. In this case the last `TL-CL` elements in one transfer are also the first elements in the next transfer.
