SQCVTN

Signed 32-bit integer saturating extract narrow to interleaved 16-bit integer

This instruction saturates the signed integer value in each element of the pair of source vectors to half the original source element width, and places the two-way interleaved results in the half-width destination elements.

This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding

SQCVTN <Zd>.H, { <Zn1>.S-<Zn2>.S }

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p1) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 16; let n : integer = UInt(Zn::'0'); let d : integer = UInt(Zd);

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

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

<Zn1>

Is the name of the first scalable vector register of the source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zn" times 2.

<Zn2>

Is the name of the second scalable vector register of the source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zn" times 2 plus 1.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV (2 * esize); var result : bits(VL); for e = 0 to elements-1 do for i = 0 to 1 do let operand : bits(VL) = Z{}(n+i); let element : integer = SInt(operand[e*:(2 * esize)]); result[(2*e + i)*:esize] = SignedSat{esize}(element); end; end; Z{VL}(d) = result;
