STFMAX, STFMAXL
Atomic floating-point maximum, without return
This instruction atomically loads a 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit value from memory,
computes the floating-point maximum with the value held in a register,
and stores the result back to memory.
STFMAXL stores
to memory with release semantics.
STFMAX 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.

<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.

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.
