FMAX (vectors)

Floating-point maximum (predicated).

Determine the maximum of active floating-point elements of the second source vector and corresponding floating-point elements of the first source vector and destructively place the results in the corresponding elements of the first source vector. If either element value is NaN then the result is NaN. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn>

Is the name of the first source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zdn" field.

<T> Is the size specifier, encoded in size:
size <T>
00 RESERVED
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Zm>

Is the name of the second source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zm" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
integer elements = VL DIV esize;
bits(PL) mask = P[g];
bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn];
bits(VL) operand2 = Z[m];
bits(VL) result;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    bits(esize) element1 = Elem[operand1, e, esize];
    bits(esize) element2 = Elem[operand2, e, esize];
    if ElemP[mask, e, esize] == '1' then
        Elem[result, e, esize] = FPMax(element1, element2, FPCR);
    else
        Elem[result, e, esize] = element1;

Z[dn] = result;

Operational information

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

  • The MOVPRFX instruction must be unpredicated, or be predicated using the same governing predicate register and source element size as this instruction.
  • The MOVPRFX instruction must specify the same destination register as this instruction.
  • The destination register must not refer to architectural register state referenced by any other source operand register of this instruction.
