SDOT (4-way, vectors) -- A64

This instruction calculates the dot product of a group of four signed 8-bit or 16-bit integer values held in each 32-bit or 64-bit element of the first source vector multiplied by a group of four signed 8-bit or 16-bit integer values in the corresponding 32-bit or 64-bit element of the second source vector, and then destructively adds the widened dot product to the corresponding 32-bit or 64-bit element of the destination vector.

Assembler Symbols

<Zda>

Is the name of the third source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zda" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size[0]:

size[0]	<T>
0	S
1	D

<Zn>	Is the name of the first source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

<Tb>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size[0]:

size[0]	<Tb>
0	B
1	H

<Zm>	Is the name of the second source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zm" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; 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 var res : bits(esize) = operand3[e*:esize]; for i = 0 to 3 do let element1 : integer = SInt(operand1[(4 * e + i)*:(esize DIV 4)]); let element2 : integer = SInt(operand2[(4 * e + i)*:(esize DIV 4)]); res = res + element1 * element2; end; result[e*:esize] = res; end; Z{VL}(da) = result;

Operational information

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:

The MOVPRFX must be unpredicated.
The MOVPRFX must specify the same destination register as this instruction.
The destination register must not refer to architectural register state referenced by any other source operand register of this instruction.
