VPMAX (floating-point)
Vector Pairwise Maximum compares adjacent pairs of elements in two doubleword vectors, and copies the larger of each pair into the corresponding element in the destination doubleword vector.
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 ) .

op |
if sz == '1' && !HaveFP16Ext() then UNDEFINED; if sz == '1' && InITBlock() then UNPREDICTABLE; maximum = (op == '0'); case sz of when '0' esize = 32; elements = 2; when '1' esize = 16; elements = 4; d = UInt(D:Vd); n = UInt(N:Vn); m = UInt(M:Vm);
CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior
If sz == '1' && InITBlock(), then one of the following behaviors must occur:
- The instruction is undefined.
- 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.
