LDNT1W (scalar plus immediate, consecutive registers)

Contiguous load non-temporal of words to multiple consecutive vectors (immediate index)

This instruction performs a contiguous non-temporal load of words to elements of two or four consecutive vector registers from the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and immediate index that is multiplied by the vector's in-memory size, irrespective of predication, and added to the base address.

Inactive elements will not cause a read from Device memory or signal a fault, and are set to zero in the destination vector.

A non-temporal load is a hint to the system that this data is unlikely to be referenced again soon.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Two registers and Four registers

Assembler Symbols

<Zt1>

For the "Two registers" variant: is the name of the first scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 2.

For the "Four registers" variant: is the name of the first scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 4.

<Zt2>

Is the name of the second scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 2 plus 1.

<PNg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register PN8-PN15, with predicate-as-counter encoding, encoded in the "PNg" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<imm>

For the "Two registers" variant: is the optional signed immediate vector offset, a multiple of 2 in the range -16 to 14, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm4" field.

For the "Four registers" variant: is the optional signed immediate vector offset, a multiple of 4 in the range -32 to 28, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm4" field.

<Zt4>

Is the name of the fourth scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded as "Zt" times 4 plus 3.
