PEXT (predicate)

Predicate extract from predicate-as-counter

Converts the source predicate-as-counter into a four register wide predicate-as-mask, and copies the portion of the mask value selected by the portion index to the destination predicate register. A portion corresponds to a one predicate register fraction of the wider predicate-as-mask value.

Assembler Symbols

<Pd>

Is the name of the destination scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pd" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

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

<imm>

Is the portion index, in the range 0 to 3, encoded in the "imm2" field.

Operation

if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p1) then CheckSVEEnabled(); else CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant bits(PL) pred = P[n, PL]; constant bits(PL*4) mask = CounterToPredicate(pred<15:0>, PL*4); bits(PL) result; constant integer psize = esize DIV 8; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant bit pbit = PredicateElement(mask, part * elements + e, esize); Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend(pbit, psize); P[d, PL] = result;
