ZIP (two registers)

Interleave elements from two vectors

This instruction places the two-way interleaved elements from the first and second source vectors in the corresponding elements of the two destination vectors.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 2 classes: 8-bit to 64-bit elements and 128-bit element

8-bit to 64-bit elements class

Encoding

ZIP { <Zd1>.<T>-<Zd2>.<T> }, <Zn>.<T>, <Zm>.<T>

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer n = UInt(Zn); constant integer m = UInt(Zm); constant integer d = UInt(Zd:'0');

128-bit element class

(FEAT_SME2)

op

Encoding

ZIP { <Zd1>.Q-<Zd2>.Q }, <Zn>.Q, <Zm>.Q

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); if MaxImplementedSVL() < 256 then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 128; constant integer n = UInt(Zn); constant integer m = UInt(Zm); constant integer d = UInt(Zd:'0');

Assembler Symbols

<Zd1>

Is the name of the first scalable vector register of the destination multi-vector group, encoded as "Zd" times 2.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size <T>
00 B
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Zd2>

Is the name of the second scalable vector register of the destination multi-vector group, encoded as "Zd" times 2 plus 1.

<Zn>

Is the name of the first source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

<Zm>

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

Operation

CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; if VL < esize * 2 then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer pairs = VL DIV (esize * 2); constant bits(VL) operand0 = Z[n, VL]; constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[m, VL]; bits(VL) result; for r = 0 to 1 constant integer base = r * pairs; for p = 0 to pairs-1 Elem[result, 2*p+0, esize] = Elem[operand0, base+p, esize]; Elem[result, 2*p+1, esize] = Elem[operand1, base+p, esize]; Z[d+r, VL] = result;
