UABA

Unsigned absolute difference and accumulate

Compute the absolute difference between unsigned integer values in elements of the second source vector and corresponding elements of the first source vector, and add the difference to the corresponding elements of the destination vector. 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 integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer n = UInt(Zn);
constant integer m = UInt(Zm);
constant integer da = UInt(Zda);
constant boolean unsigned = TRUE;

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

for e = 0 to elements-1
    constant integer element1 = Int(Elem[operand1, e, esize], unsigned);
    constant integer element2 = Int(Elem[operand2, e, esize], unsigned);
    constant bits(esize) absdiff = Abs(element1 - element2);
    Elem[result, e, esize] = Elem[result, e, esize] + absdiff;

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.
<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.
