VCGE (register)
Vector Compare Greater Than or Equal
Vector Compare Greater Than or Equal takes each element in a vector,
and compares it with the corresponding element of a second
vector. If the first is greater than or equal to the second, the
corresponding element in the destination vector is set to all
ones. Otherwise, it is set to all zeros.
The operand vector elements are the same type, and are signed integers,
unsigned integers, or floating-point numbers.
The result vector elements are fields the same size as the
operand vector elements.
Depending on settings in the CPACR,
NSACR, and
HCPTR registers, and the Security
state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to
execute the instruction might be UNDEFINED, or
trapped to Hyp mode.
For more information see Enabling Advanced
SIMD and floating-point support.
This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About the DIT bit.
This instruction is used by the alias

The instruction executes as if it passes the Condition code check.
The instruction executes as NOP. This means it behaves as if it fails the Condition code check.
