STNT1H (scalar plus scalar, single register)

Contiguous store non-temporal halfwords from vector (scalar index)

Contiguous store non-temporal of halfwords from elements of a vector register to the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and scalar index which is multiplied by 2 and added to the base address. After each element access the index value is incremented, but the index register is not updated. Inactive elements are not written to memory.

A non-temporal store is a hint to the system that this data is unlikely to be referenced again soon.

Encoding: SVE

Decoding algorithm

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer PL = VL DIV 8;
constant integer elements = VL DIV esize;
bits(64) base;
bits(64) offset;
bits(64) addr;

constant boolean contiguous = TRUE;
constant boolean nontemporal = TRUE;
constant boolean tagchecked = TRUE;

    src = Z[t, VL];

base = if n == 31 then SP[64] else X[n, 64];
offset = X[m, 64];
addr = AddressAdd(base, UInt(offset) * mbytes, accdesc);

for e = 0 to elements-1
    if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then
        Mem[addr, mbytes, accdesc] = Elem[src, e, esize];
    addr = AddressIncrement(addr, mbytes, accdesc);

Explanations

<Zt>: Is the name of the scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded in the "Zt" field.
<Pg>: Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.
<Xn|SP>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<Xm>: Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose offset register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
