DECP (scalar)

Decrement scalar by count of true predicate elements

This instruction determines the number of true elements in the source predicate and then uses the result to decrement the scalar destination.

Encoding

DECP <Xdn>, <Pm>.<T>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let m : integer = UInt(Pm); let dn : integer = UInt(Rdn);

Assembler Symbols

<Xdn>

Is the 64-bit name of the source and destination general-purpose register, encoded in the "Rdn" field.

<Pm>

Is the name of the source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pm" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let PL : integer{} = VL DIV 8; let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; let operand1 : bits(64) = X{}(dn); let operand2 : bits(PL) = P{}(m); var count : integer = 0; for e = 0 to elements-1 do if ActivePredicateElement{PL}(operand2, e, esize) then count = count + 1; end; end; X{64}(dn) = operand1 - count;

Operational information

If FEAT_SME is implemented and the PE is in Streaming SVE mode, then any subsequent instruction which is dependent on the general-purpose register written by this instruction might be significantly delayed.
