UABAL

Two-way unsigned absolute difference sum and accumulate long

This instruction calculates the sum of the absolute difference between even-numbered unsigned elements and the absolute difference between the odd-numbered unsigned elements of each double-width container of the first and second vectors, and destructively adds the results to the overlapping double-width elements of the addend vector.

This instruction is unpredicated.

Encoding

UABAL <Zda>.<T>, <Zn>.<Tb>, <Zm>.<Tb>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p3) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2p3) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if size == '00' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let n : integer = UInt(Zn); let m : integer = UInt(Zm); let da : integer = UInt(Zda);

Operational information

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

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
