FABS (vector)

Floating-point Absolute value (vector). This instruction calculates the absolute value of each vector element in the source SIMD&FP register, writes the result to a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.

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.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Half-precision and Single-precision and double-precision

FABS <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

For the half-precision variant: is an arrangement specifier, encoded in Q:

Q <T>
0 4H
1 8H

For the single-precision and double-precision variant: is an arrangement specifier, encoded in sz:Q:

sz Q <T>
0 0 2S
0 1 4S
1 0 RESERVED
1 1 2D
<Vn>

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

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand = V[n, datasize]; bits(datasize) result; bits(esize) element; for e = 0 to elements-1 element = Elem[operand, e, esize]; if neg then element = FPNeg(element, FPCR); else element = FPAbs(element, FPCR); Elem[result, e, esize] = element; V[d, datasize] = result;
