SUB (vector)

Subtract (vector). This instruction subtracts each vector element in the second source SIMD&FP register from the corresponding vector element in the first source SIMD&FP register, places the result into 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: Scalar and Vector

Assembler Symbols

<d>

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

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand1 = V[n, datasize]; bits(datasize) operand2 = V[m, datasize]; bits(datasize) result; bits(esize) element1; bits(esize) element2; for e = 0 to elements-1 element1 = Elem[operand1, e, esize]; element2 = Elem[operand2, e, esize]; if sub_op then Elem[result, e, esize] = element1 - element2; else Elem[result, e, esize] = element1 + element2; V[d, datasize] = result;
