ZERO (quad-vector)

Zero ZA quad-vector groups

This instruction zeroes one, two, or four ZA quad-vector groups.

The quad-vector group within all of, each half of, or each quarter of the ZA array is selected by the sum of the vector select register and offset range, modulo all, half, or quarter the number of ZA array vectors.

The vector group symbol, VGx2 or VGx4, indicates that the ZA operand consists of two or four ZA quad-vector groups respectively.

Encoding: One ZA quad-vector

ZERO ZA.D[<Wv>, <offs1>:<offs4>, VGx4]

Decoding algorithm

Operation

CheckStreamingSVEAndZAEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer vectors = VL DIV 8;
constant integer vstride = vectors DIV ngrp;
constant bits(32) vbase = X[v, 32];
integer vec = (UInt(vbase) + offset) MOD vstride;
vec = vec - (vec MOD nvec);
for r = 0 to ngrp-1
    for i = 0 to nvec-1
        ZAvector[vec + i, VL] = Zeros(VL);
    vec = vec + vstride;

Explanations

<Wv>: Is the 32-bit name of the vector select register W8-W11, encoded in the "Rv" field.
<offs1>: For the "One ZA quad-vector" variant: is the first vector select offset, encoded as "off2" field times 4.
<offs1>: For the "Four ZA quad-vectors" and "Two ZA quad-vectors" variants: is the first vector select offset, encoded as "o1" field times 4.
<offs4>: For the "One ZA quad-vector" variant: is the fourth vector select offset, encoded as "off2" field times 4 plus 3.
<offs4>: For the "Four ZA quad-vectors" and "Two ZA quad-vectors" variants: is the fourth vector select offset, encoded as "o1" field times 4 plus 3.

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.
