LD1H (scalar plus immediate, consecutive registers)

Contiguous load of unsigned halfwords to elements of two or four consecutive vector registers from the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and immediate index which 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.

Two registers
(FEAT_SVE2p1)

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p1) then UNDEFINED; constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer g = UInt('1':PNg); constant integer nreg = 2; constant integer t = UInt(Zt:'0'); constant integer esize = 16; constant integer offset = SInt(imm4);

Four registers
(FEAT_SVE2p1)

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p1) then UNDEFINED; constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer g = UInt('1':PNg); constant integer nreg = 4; constant integer t = UInt(Zt:'00'); constant integer esize = 16; constant integer offset = SInt(imm4);

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.

<Zt4>

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

<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.

Operation

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
