LD1SB (scalar plus immediate)

Contiguous load of signed bytes to elements of a vector register from the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and immediate index in the range -8 to 7 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.

16-bit element

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; constant integer t = UInt(Zt); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer esize = 16; constant integer msize = 8; constant boolean unsigned = FALSE; constant integer offset = SInt(imm4);

32-bit element

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; constant integer t = UInt(Zt); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer esize = 32; constant integer msize = 8; constant boolean unsigned = FALSE; constant integer offset = SInt(imm4);

64-bit element

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; constant integer t = UInt(Zt); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer esize = 64; constant integer msize = 8; constant boolean unsigned = FALSE; constant integer offset = SInt(imm4);

Assembler Symbols

<Zt>	Is the name of the scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded in the "Zt" field.

<Pg>	Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Xn|SP>

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

<imm>

Is the optional signed immediate vector offset, in the range -8 to 7, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm4" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; bits(64) base; constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; bits(64) addr; bits(VL) result; bits(msize) data; constant integer mbytes = msize DIV 8; constant boolean contiguous = TRUE; constant boolean nontemporal = FALSE; constant boolean tagchecked = n != 31; constant AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescSVE(MemOp_LOAD, nontemporal, contiguous, tagchecked); if !AnyActiveElement(mask, esize) then if n == 31 && ConstrainUnpredictableBool(Unpredictable_CHECKSPNONEACTIVE) then CheckSPAlignment(); else if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); base = if n == 31 then SP[] else X[n, 64]; addr = AddressAdd(base, offset * elements * mbytes, accdesc); for e = 0 to elements-1 if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then data = Mem[addr, mbytes, accdesc]; Elem[result, e, esize] = Extend(data, esize, unsigned); else Elem[result, e, esize] = Zeros(esize); addr = AddressIncrement(addr, mbytes, accdesc); Z[t, VL] = result;

Operational information

If FEAT_SVE2 is implemented or FEAT_SME is implemented, then 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.
