SDOT (4-way, vectors)

Signed integer dot product

The signed integer dot product instruction computes the dot product of a group of four signed 8-bit or 16-bit integer values held in each 32-bit or 64-bit element of the first source vector multiplied by a group of four signed 8-bit or 16-bit integer values in the corresponding 32-bit or 64-bit element of the second source vector, and then destructively adds the widened dot product to the corresponding 32-bit or 64-bit element of the destination vector.

This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding: SVE

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

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then
    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
if size IN {'0x'} then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer n = UInt(Zn);
constant integer m = UInt(Zm);
constant integer da = UInt(Zda);

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];
constant bits(VL) operand3 = Z[da, VL];
bits(VL) result;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    bits(esize) res = Elem[operand3, e, esize];
    for i = 0 to 3
        constant integer element1 = SInt(Elem[operand1, 4 * e + i, esize DIV 4]);
        constant integer element2 = SInt(Elem[operand2, 4 * e + i, esize DIV 4]);
        res = res + element1 * element2;
    Elem[result, e, esize] = res;

Z[da, VL] = result;

Explanations

<Zda>: Is the name of the third source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zda" field.
<T>: <Zn>: Is the name of the first source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.
<Tb>: <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.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:

• The MOVPRFX must be unpredicated.
• The MOVPRFX must specify the same destination register as this instruction.
• The destination register must not refer to architectural register state referenced by any other source operand register of this instruction.
