SLI

Shift left and insert (immediate)

Shift each source vector element left by an immediate value, and insert the result into the corresponding vector element in the destination vector register, merging the shifted bits from each source element with existing bits in each destination vector element. The immediate shift amount is an unsigned value in the range 0 to number of bits per element minus 1. This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding: SVE2

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

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then
    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant bits(4) tsize = tszh:tszl;
if tsize == '0000' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 8 << HighestSetBit(tsize);
constant integer n = UInt(Zn);
constant integer d = UInt(Zd);
constant integer shift = UInt(tsize:imm3) - esize;

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer elements = VL DIV esize;
constant bits(VL) operand = Z[n, VL];
bits(VL) result = Z[d, VL];

for e = 0 to elements-1
    constant bits(esize) element1 = Elem[result, e, esize];
    constant bits(esize) element2 = Elem[operand, e, esize];
    constant bits(esize) mask = LSL(Ones(esize), shift);
    constant bits(esize) shiftedval = LSL(element2, shift);
    Elem[result, e, esize] = (element1 AND (NOT mask)) OR shiftedval;

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 source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.
<const>: Is the immediate shift amount, in the range 0 to number of bits per element minus 1, encoded in "tszh:tszl:imm3".

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.
