SMLAL, SMLAL2 (vector)

Signed multiply-add long (vector)

This instruction multiplies corresponding signed integer values in the lower or upper half of the vectors of the two source SIMD&FP registers, and accumulates the results with the vector elements of the destination SIMD&FP register. The destination vector elements are twice as long as the elements that are multiplied.

The SMLAL instruction extracts each source vector from the lower half of each source register. The SMLAL2 instruction extracts each source vector from the upper half of each source register.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Encoding: Three registers, not all the same type

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
if size == '11' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer d = UInt(Rd);
constant integer n = UInt(Rn);
constant integer m = UInt(Rm);

constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer datasize = 64;
constant integer part = UInt(Q);
constant integer elements = datasize DIV esize;

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64();
constant bits(datasize) operand1 = Vpart[n, part, datasize];
constant bits(datasize) operand2 = Vpart[m, part, datasize];
constant bits(2*datasize) operand3 = V[d, 2*datasize];
bits(2*datasize) result;
integer element1;
integer element2;
bits(2*esize) product;
bits(2*esize) accum;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    element1 = SInt(Elem[operand1, e, esize]);
    element2 = SInt(Elem[operand2, e, esize]);
    product = (element1 * element2)<2*esize-1:0>;
    accum = Elem[operand3, e, 2*esize] + product;
    Elem[result, e, 2*esize] = accum;

V[d, 2*datasize] = result;

Explanations

2: <Vd>: Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<Ta>: <Vn>: Is the name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<Tb>: <Vm>: Is the name of the second SIMD&FP source register, 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.
