STFMAXNM, STFMAXNML

Floating-point atomic maximum number in memory, without return

This instruction atomically loads a 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit value from memory, computes the floating-point maximum number with the value held in a register, and stores the result back to memory.

  • STFMAXNML stores to memory with release semantics.
  • STFMAXNM has no release semantics.

    • This instruction:

  • Disables alternative floating-point behaviors, as if FPCR.AH is 0.
  • Generates only the default NaN, as if FPCR.DN is 1.
  • Does not modify the cumulative FPSR exception bits (IDC, IXC, UFC, OFC, DZC, and IOC).
  • Disables trapped floating-point exceptions, as if the FPCR trap enable bits (IDE, IXE, UFE, OFE, DZE, and IOE) are all zero.

    • For more information about memory ordering semantics, see Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

    For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.

    Decoding algorithm

    if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_LSFE) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);

constant integer s = UInt(Rs);
constant integer n = UInt(Rn);

constant integer datasize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant boolean acquire = FALSE;
constant boolean release = R == '1';
constant boolean tagchecked = n != 31;

    Operation

    CheckFPEnabled64();
bits(64) address;
bits(datasize) value;
bits(datasize) data;
constant AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescFPAtomicOp(MemAtomicOp_FPMAXNM, acquire,
                                                            release, tagchecked);

value = V[s, datasize];
if n == 31 then
    CheckSPAlignment();
    address = SP[64];
else
    address = X[n, 64];

constant bits(datasize) comparevalue = bits(datasize) UNKNOWN; // Irrelevant when not executing CAS
data = MemAtomic(address, comparevalue, value, accdesc);

    Explanations

    <Hs>: Is the 16-bit name of the SIMD&FP register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.
    <Xn|SP>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
    <Ss>: Is the 32-bit name of the SIMD&FP register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.
    <Ds>: Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.
