ZIP (two registers)

Interleave elements from two vectors

This instruction places the two-way interleaved elements from the first and second source vectors in the corresponding elements of the two destination vectors.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 2 classes: 8-bit to 64-bit elements and 128-bit element

Encoding

ZIP { <Zd1>.<T>-<Zd2>.<T> }, <Zn>.<T>, <Zm>.<T>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let n : integer = UInt(Zn); let m : integer = UInt(Zm); let d : integer = UInt(Zd::'0');

128-bit element
(FEAT_SME2)

11000001001Zm110101ZnZd0
op

Encoding

ZIP { <Zd1>.Q-<Zd2>.Q }, <Zn>.Q, <Zm>.Q

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if MaxImplementedSVL() < 256 then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 128; let n : integer = UInt(Zn); let m : integer = UInt(Zm); let d : integer = UInt(Zd::'0');

Assembler Symbols

<Zd1>

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

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size <T>
00 B
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Zd2>

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

<Zn>

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

<Zm>

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

Operation

CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); if VL < esize * 2 then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let pairs : integer = VL DIV (esize * 2); let operand0 : bits(VL) = Z{}(n); let operand1 : bits(VL) = Z{}(m); var result : bits(VL); for r = 0 to 1 do let base : integer = r * pairs; for p = 0 to pairs-1 do result[(2*p+0)*:esize] = operand0[(base+p)*:esize]; result[(2*p+1)*:esize] = operand1[(base+p)*:esize]; end; Z{VL}(d+r) = result; end;
