UMAXV

Unsigned maximum reduction to scalar

Unsigned maximum horizontally across all lanes of a vector, and place the result in the SIMD&FP scalar destination register. Inactive elements in the source vector are treated as zero.

Encoding: SVE

Variants: FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME (FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME)

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then
    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer g = UInt(Pg);
constant integer n = UInt(Zn);
constant integer d = UInt(Vd);
constant boolean unsigned = TRUE;

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer PL = VL DIV 8;
constant integer elements = VL DIV esize;
constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL];
constant bits(VL) operand = if AnyActiveElement(mask, esize) then Z[n, VL] else Zeros(VL);
integer maximum = if unsigned then 0 else -(2^(esize-1));

for e = 0 to elements-1
    if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then
        constant integer element = Int(Elem[operand, e, esize], unsigned);
        maximum = Max(maximum, element);

V[d, esize] = maximum;

Explanations

<V>: <d>: Is the number [0-31] of the destination SIMD&FP register, encoded in the "Vd" field.
<Pg>: Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.
<Zn>: Is the name of the source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.
<T>:

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 operand registers when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
  • 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 operand registers when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
