VADDHN -- AArch32

VADDHN

Vector Add and Narrow, returning High Half adds corresponding elements in two quadword vectors, and places the most significant half of each result in a doubleword vector. The results are truncated. For rounded results, see VRADDHN.

The operand elements can be 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit integers. There is no distinction between signed and unsigned integers.

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.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

Encoding

VADDHN{<c>}{<q>}.<dt> <Dd>, <Qn>, <Qm>

Decode for this encoding

if size == '11' then See("Related encodings"); end; if Vn[0] == '1' || Vm[0] == '1' then Undefined(); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let d : integer = UInt(D::Vd); let n : integer = UInt(N::Vn); let m : integer = UInt(M::Vm); let elements : integer = 64 DIV esize;

Encoding

VADDHN{<c>}{<q>}.<dt> <Dd>, <Qn>, <Qm>

Decode for this encoding

if size == '11' then See("Related encodings"); end; if Vn[0] == '1' || Vm[0] == '1' then Undefined(); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let d : integer = UInt(D::Vd); let n : integer = UInt(N::Vn); let m : integer = UInt(M::Vm); let elements : integer = 64 DIV esize;

Assembler Symbols

<c>

For the "A1" variant: see Standard assembler syntax fields. This encoding must be unconditional.

For the "T1" variant: see Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<dt>

Is the data type for the elements of the operands, encoded in size:

size <dt>
00 I16
01 I32
10 I64
<Dd>

Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "D:Vd" field.

<Qn>

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

<Qm>

Is the 128-bit name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "M:Vm" field as <Qm>*2.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); CheckAdvSIMDEnabled(); for e = 0 to elements-1 do let result : bits(2*esize) = Qin(n>>1)[e*:(2*esize)] + Qin(m>>1)[e*:(2*esize)]; D(d)[e*:esize] = result[2*esize-1:esize]; end; end;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About the DIT bit.
