ADDP

Add pairwise

This instruction adds pairs of adjacent elements within each source vector, and destructively places the interleaved results in the first source vector.

Encoding

ADDP <Zdn>.<T>, <Pg>/M, <Zdn>.<T>, <Zm>.<T>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let g : integer = UInt(Pg); let m : integer = UInt(Zm); let dn : integer = UInt(Zdn);

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn>

Is the name of the first source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zdn" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size <T>
00 B
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Zm>

Is the name of the second source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zm" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let PL : integer{} = VL DIV 8; let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; let mask : bits(PL) = P{}(g); let operand1 : bits(VL) = Z{}(dn); let operand2 : bits(VL) = if AnyActiveElement{PL}(mask, esize) then Z{VL}(m) else Zeros{VL}; var result : bits(VL); var element1 : integer; var element2 : integer; for e = 0 to elements-1 do if !ActivePredicateElement{PL}(mask, e, esize) then result[e*:esize] = operand1[e*:esize]; else if IsEven(e) then element1 = UInt(operand1[(e + 0)*:esize]); element2 = UInt(operand1[(e + 1)*:esize]); else element1 = UInt(operand2[(e - 1)*:esize]); element2 = UInt(operand2[(e + 0)*:esize]); end; let res : integer = element1 + element2; result[e*:esize] = res[esize-1:0]; end; end; Z{VL}(dn) = result;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
