SQDMLALBT

Signed saturating doubling multiply-add (bottom × top)

This instruction multiplies the even-numbered signed elements of the first source vector by the corresponding odd-numbered signed elements of the second source vector, and then doubles the result of the multiplication. Each intermediate value is saturated to the double-width N-bit value's signed integer range -2(N-1) to (2(N-1))-1 and is then destructively added to the overlapping double-width elements of the addend and destination vector. Each destination element is saturated to the double-width N-bit element's signed integer range -2(N-1) to (2(N-1))-1. This instruction is unpredicated.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; let operand1 : bits(VL) = Z{}(n); let operand2 : bits(VL) = Z{}(m); var result : bits(VL) = Z{}(da); for e = 0 to elements-1 do let element1 : integer = SInt(operand1[(2 * e + sel1)*:(esize DIV 2)]); let element2 : integer = SInt(operand2[(2 * e + sel2)*:(esize DIV 2)]); let element3 : integer = SInt(result[e*:esize]); let product : integer = SInt(SignedSat{esize}(2 * element1 * element2)); result[e*:esize] = SignedSat{esize}(element3 + product); end; Z{VL}(da) = result;

Operational information

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:
