ABS

Absolute value (vector). This instruction calculates the absolute value of each vector element in the source SIMD&FP register, puts the result into a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Scalar and Vector

ABS <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>

integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); if size:Q == '110' then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer datasize = 64 << UInt(Q); integer elements = datasize DIV esize; boolean neg = (U == '1');

Assembler Symbols

<d>

Is the number of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<n>

Is the number of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:Q:

size Q <T>
00 0 8B
00 1 16B
01 0 4H
01 1 8H
10 0 2S
10 1 4S
11 0 RESERVED
11 1 2D
<Vn>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation
