Floating-point maximum number recursive reduction to scalar
This instruction calculates a floating-point maximum number horizontally over all lanes of a vector using a recursive pairwise reduction, and places the result in the SIMD&FP scalar destination register. Inactive elements in the source vector are treated as the default NaN.
Regardless of the value of FPCR.AH, the behavior is as follows:
| 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | size | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Pg | Zn | Vd | |||||||||||
| opc | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if size == '00' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let g : integer = UInt(Pg); let n : integer = UInt(Zn); let d : integer = UInt(Vd);
