LASTA (SIMD&FP scalar)

Extract element after last to SIMD&FP scalar register

This instruction extracts the element after the Last active element to a SIMD&FP scalar register. If there is an Active element, the element after the Last active element modulo the number of elements from the final source vector register is extracted. If there are no Active elements, element zero is extracted. Then the extracted element is placed in the destination SIMD&FP scalar register.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let PL : integer{} = VL DIV 8; let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; let mask : bits(PL) = P{}(g); let operand : bits(VL) = Z{}(n); var last : integer = LastActiveElement{PL}(mask, esize); if isBefore then if last < 0 then last = elements - 1; end; else last = last + 1; if last >= elements then last = 0; end; end; V{esize}(d) = operand[last*:esize];
