BFMUL (vectors, predicated)

BFloat16 floating-point multiply vectors (predicated)

Multiply active BFloat16 elements of the second source vector to corresponding elements of the first source vector and destructively place the results in the corresponding elements of the first source vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

This instruction follows SVE2.1 non-widening BFloat16 numerical behaviors.

ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.B16B16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn>

Is the name of the first source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zdn" field.

<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Zm>

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

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV 16; bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn, VL]; bits(VL) operand2 = if AnyActiveElement(mask, 16) then Z[m, VL] else Zeros(VL); bits(VL) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 bits(16) element1 = Elem[operand1, e, 16]; if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, 16) then bits(16) element2 = Elem[operand2, e, 16]; Elem[result, e, 16] = BFMul(element1, element2, FPCR); else Elem[result, e, 16] = element1; Z[dn, VL] = result;

Operational information

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX instruction must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is unpredictable:
