LDNT1W (scalar plus scalar, consecutive registers)

Contiguous load non-temporal of words to multiple consecutive vectors (scalar index)

This instruction performs a contiguous non-temporal load of words to elements of two or four consecutive vector registers from the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and scalar index which is added to the base address. After each element access the index value is incremented, but the index register is not updated.

Inactive elements will not cause a read from Device memory or signal a fault, and are set to zero in the destination vector.

A non-temporal load is a hint to the system that this data is unlikely to be referenced again soon.

Explanations

<Zt1>: For the "Two registers" variant: is the name of the first scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 2.
<Zt1>: For the "Four registers" variant: is the name of the first scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 4.
<Zt2>: Is the name of the second scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 2 plus 1.
<PNg>: Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register PN8-PN15, with predicate-as-counter encoding, encoded in the "PNg" field.
<Xn|SP>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<Xm>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose offset register, encoded in the "Rm" field.
<Zt4>: Is the name of the fourth scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 4 plus 3.

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
