VMUL (by scalar)
Vector Multiply (by scalar)
Vector Multiply multiplies each element in a vector by a scalar, and
places the results in a second vector.
For more information about scalars see
Advanced SIMD scalars.
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.
Related encodings: See Advanced SIMD data-processing for the T32 instruction set, or Advanced SIMD data-processing for the A32 instruction set.
It has encodings from the following instruction sets:
A32 (
A1
)
and
T32 (
T1
)
.

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.

Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "D:Vd" field.
<Dn>
Is the 64-bit name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "N:Vn" field.
<Dm>
Is the 64-bit name of the second SIMD&FP source register. When <dt> is I16 or F16, this is encoded in the "Vm<2:0>" field. Otherwise it is encoded in the "Vm" field.
<index>
Is the element index. When <dt> is I16 or F16, this is in the range 0 to 3 and is encoded in the "M:Vm<3>" field. Otherwise it is in the range 0 to 1 and is encoded in the "M" field.
<Qd>

<Qn>
Is the 128-bit name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "N:Vn" field as <Qn>*2.
