FADDA

Floating-point add strictly-ordered reduction, accumulating in scalar

This instruction adds the floating-point values in a SIMD&FP scalar source and all active lanes of the vector source and destructively places the result in the SIMD&FP scalar source register. Vector elements are processed strictly in order from low to high, with the scalar source providing the initial value. Inactive elements in the source vector are ignored.

This instruction is illegal when executed in Streaming SVE mode, unless FEAT_SME_FA64 is implemented and enabled.

Operation

CheckNonStreamingSVEEnabled(); 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(esize) = V{}(dn); let operand2 : bits(VL) = if AnyActiveElement{PL}(mask, esize) then Z{VL}(m) else Zeros{VL}; var result : bits(esize) = operand1; for e = 0 to elements-1 do if ActivePredicateElement{PL}(mask, e, esize) then let element : bits(esize) = operand2[e*:esize]; result = FPAdd{esize}(result, element, FPCR()); end; end; V{esize}(dn) = result;
