FDIV (vector)

Floating-point divide (vector)

This instruction divides the floating-point values in the elements in the first source SIMD&FP register, by the floating-point values in the corresponding elements in the second source SIMD&FP register, places the results in a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.

This instruction can generate a floating-point exception. Depending on the settings in FPCR, the exception results in either a flag being set in FPSR or a synchronous exception being generated. For more information, see Floating-point exceptions and exception traps.

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.

Operation

constant bits(datasize) operand1 = V[n, datasize];
constant 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];
    Elem[result, e, esize] = FPDiv(element1, element2, FPCR);

V[d, datasize] = result;

Explanations

<Vd>: Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<T>: <T>: <Vn>: Is the name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<Vm>: Is the name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.
