BFMUL (vectors, unpredicated)

BFloat16 multiply (unpredicated)

This instruction multiplies all BFloat16 elements of the first source vector by the corresponding BFloat16 elements of the second source vector, and places the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector.

This instruction follows SVE2 non-widening BFloat16 numerical behaviors.

This instruction is unpredicated.

ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.B16B16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.

Encoding

BFMUL <Zd>.H, <Zn>.H, <Zm>.H

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE_B16B16) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let n : integer = UInt(Zn); let m : integer = UInt(Zm); let d : integer = UInt(Zd);

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<Zn>

Is the name of the first source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

<Zm>

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

Operation

if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then CheckSVEEnabled(); else CheckNonStreamingSVEEnabled(); end; let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV 16; let operand1 : bits(VL) = Z{}(n); let operand2 : bits(VL) = Z{}(m); var result : bits(VL); for e = 0 to elements-1 do let element1 : bits(16) = operand1[e*:16]; let element2 : bits(16) = operand2[e*:16]; result[e*:16] = BFMul(element1, element2, FPCR()); end; Z{VL}(d) = result;
