BFMUL (indexed)

BFloat16 multiply by indexed element

This instruction multiplies all BFloat16 elements within each 128-bit segment of the first source vector by the specified element in the corresponding second source vector segment and places the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector.

The elements within the second source vector are specified using an immediate index that selects the same element position within each 128-bit vector segment. The index range is from 0 to 7.

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[<imm>]

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE_B16B16) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let index : integer = UInt(i3h::i3l); 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 Z0-Z7, encoded in the "Zm" field.

<imm>

Is the immediate index, in the range 0 to 7, encoded in the "i3h:i3l" fields.

Operation

if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then CheckSVEEnabled(); else CheckNonStreamingSVEEnabled(); end; let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV 16; let eltspersegment : integer = 128 DIV 16; let op1 : bits(VL) = Z{}(n); let op2 : bits(VL) = Z{}(m); var result : bits(VL); for e = 0 to elements-1 do let segmentbase : integer = e - (e MOD eltspersegment); let s : integer = segmentbase + index; let elem2 : bits(16) = op2[s*:16]; let elem1 : bits(16) = op1[e*:16]; result[e*:16] = BFMul(elem1, elem2, FPCR()); end; Z{VL}(d) = result;
