MUL (vectors, unpredicated)

Multiply vectors (unpredicated)

Multiply all elements of the first source vector by corresponding elements of the second source vector and place the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector. This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding: SVE2

Variants: FEAT_SVE2 || FEAT_SME (FEAT_SVE2 || FEAT_SME)

MUL <Zd>.<T>, <Zn>.<T>, <Zm>.<T>

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then
    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer n = UInt(Zn);
constant integer m = UInt(Zm);
constant integer d = UInt(Zd);

Operation

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

for e = 0 to elements-1
    constant integer element1 = UInt(Elem[operand1, e, esize]);
    constant integer element2 = UInt(Elem[operand2, e, esize]);
    constant integer product = element1 * element2;
    Elem[result, e, esize] = product;

Z[d, VL] = result;

Explanations

<Zd>: Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.
<T>: <Zn>: Is the name of the first source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.
<Zm>: Is the name of the second source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zm" 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.
