INDEX (scalars)

Create index starting from and incremented by general-purpose register

Populates the destination vector by setting the first element to the first signed scalar integer operand and monotonically incrementing the value by the second signed scalar integer operand for each subsequent element. The scalar source operands are general-purpose registers in which only the least significant bits corresponding to the vector element size are used and any remaining bits are ignored. This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding: SVE

Variants: FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME (FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME)

INDEX <Zd>.<T>, <R><n>, <R><m>

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then
    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer n = UInt(Rn);
constant integer m = UInt(Rm);
constant integer d = UInt(Zd);

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer elements = VL DIV esize;
constant bits(esize) operand1 = X[n, esize];
constant integer element1 = SInt(operand1);
constant bits(esize) operand2 = X[m, esize];
constant integer element2 = SInt(operand2);
bits(VL) result;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    constant integer index = element1 + e * element2;
    Elem[result, e, esize] = index;

Z[d, VL] = result;

Explanations

<Zd>: Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.
<T>: <R>: <n>: Is the number [0-30] of the source general-purpose register or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rn" field.
<m>: Is the number [0-30] of the source general-purpose register or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:

• The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
• The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
