INDEX (scalars)

Create index starting from and incremented by general-purpose register

This instruction populates the destination vector by setting the first element to the first signed scalar integer operand and monotonically incrementing the value by the second signed scalar integer operand for each subsequent element. The scalar source operands are general-purpose registers in which only the least significant bits corresponding to the vector element size are used and any remaining bits are ignored. This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding

INDEX <Zd>.<T>, <R><n>, <R><m>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let m : integer = UInt(Rm); let d : integer = UInt(Zd);

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

Is a width specifier, encoded in size:

size <R>
00 W
01 W
10 W
11 X
<n>

Is the number [0-30] of the source general-purpose register or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rn" field.

<m>

Is the number [0-30] of the source general-purpose register or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; let operand1 : bits(esize) = X{}(n); let element1 : integer = SInt(operand1); let operand2 : bits(esize) = X{}(m); let element2 : integer = SInt(operand2); var result : bits(VL); for e = 0 to elements-1 do let index : integer = element1 + e * element2; result[e*:esize] = index[esize-1:0]; end; Z{VL}(d) = result;
