SMLAL (multiple and single vector)

Multi-vector signed 16-bit integer multiply-add by vector to 32-bit integer

This instruction multiplies each signed 16-bit element in the one, two, or four first source vectors by each signed 16-bit element in the second source vector, widens each product to 32 bits, and destructively adds these values to the corresponding 32-bit elements of the ZA double-vector groups.

The double-vector group within all of, each half of, or each quarter of the ZA array is selected by the sum of the vector select register and offset range, modulo all, half, or quarter the number of ZA array vectors.

The vector group symbol, VGx2 or VGx4, indicates that the ZA operand consists of two or four ZA double-vector groups respectively. The vector group symbol is preferred for disassembly, but optional in assembler source code.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 3 classes: One ZA double-vector , Two ZA double-vectors and Four ZA double-vectors
