Signed absolute difference and accumulate long (bottom)
This instruction calculates the absolute difference between even-numbered signed integer values in elements of the first source vector and the corresponding elements of the second source vector, and destructively adds the results to the overlapping double-width elements of the addend vector. This instruction is unpredicated.

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
