UZP2

Unzip vectors (secondary)

This instruction reads corresponding odd-numbered vector elements from the two source SIMD&FP registers, places the result from the first source register into consecutive elements in the lower half of a vector, and the result from the second source register into consecutive elements in the upper half of a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.


Note

This instruction can be used with UZP1 to de-interleave two vectors.


The following figure shows an example of the operation of UZP1 and UZP2 with the arrangement specifier 8B.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

<Vm>

Is the name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operation

AArch64_CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled(); let operandl : bits(datasize) = V{}(n); let operandh : bits(datasize) = V{}(m); var result : bits(datasize); let zipped : bits(datasize*2) = operandh::operandl; for e = 0 to elements-1 do result[e*:esize] = zipped[(2*e+part)*:esize]; end; V{datasize}(d) = result;
