FDOT (2-way, indexed, FP16 to FP32)

Half-precision dot product by indexed element to single-precision

This instruction calculates the fused sum-of-products of a pair of half-precision values held in each 32-bit element of the first source vector and a pair of half-precision values in an indexed 32-bit element of the second source vector, without intermediate rounding, and then destructively adds the single-precision sum-of-products to the corresponding single-precision element of the destination vector.

The half-precision pairs within the second source vector are specified using an immediate index that selects the same pair position within each 128-bit vector segment. The index range is from 0 to 3.

This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding

FDOT <Zda>.S, <Zn>.H, <Zm>.H[<imm>]

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p1) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let n : integer = UInt(Zn); let m : integer = UInt(Zm); let da : integer = UInt(Zda); let index : integer = UInt(i2);

Assembler Symbols

<Zda>

Is the name of the third source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zda" 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 of a pair of 16-bit elements within each 128-bit vector segment, in the range 0 to 3, encoded in the "i2" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV 32; let eltspersegment : integer = 128 DIV 32; let operand1 : bits(VL) = Z{}(n); let operand2 : bits(VL) = Z{}(m); let operand3 : bits(VL) = Z{}(da); var result : bits(VL); for e = 0 to elements-1 do let segmentbase : integer = e - (e MOD eltspersegment); let s : integer = segmentbase + index; let elt1_a : bits(16) = operand1[(2 * e + 0)*:16]; let elt1_b : bits(16) = operand1[(2 * e + 1)*:16]; let elt2_a : bits(16) = operand2[(2 * s + 0)*:16]; let elt2_b : bits(16) = operand2[(2 * s + 1)*:16]; var sum : bits(32) = operand3[e*:32]; sum = FPDotAdd(sum, elt1_a, elt1_b, elt2_a, elt2_b, FPCR()); result[e*:32] = sum; end; Z{VL}(da) = result;
