SMAX (multiple and single vector)

Determine the signed maximum of elements of the second source vector and the corresponding elements of the two or four first source vectors and destructively place the results in the corresponding elements of the two or four first source vectors.

Two registers
(FEAT_SME2)

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer dn = UInt(Zdn:'0'); constant integer m = UInt('0':Zm); constant integer nreg = 2; constant boolean unsigned = FALSE;

Four registers
(FEAT_SME2)

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer dn = UInt(Zdn:'00'); constant integer m = UInt('0':Zm); constant integer nreg = 4; constant boolean unsigned = FALSE;

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn1>	For the two registers variant: is the name of the first scalable vector register of the destination and first source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zdn" times 2.
	For the four registers variant: is the name of the first scalable vector register of the destination and first source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zdn" times 4.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

<Zdn4>

Is the name of the fourth scalable vector register of the destination and first source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zdn" times 4 plus 3.

<Zdn2>

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

<Zm>	Is the name of the second source scalable vector register Z0-Z15, encoded in the "Zm" field.

Operation

CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; array [0..3] of bits(VL) results; for r = 0 to nreg-1 constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn+r, VL]; constant bits(VL) operand2 = Z[m, VL]; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant integer element1 = Int(Elem[operand1, e, esize], unsigned); constant integer element2 = Int(Elem[operand2, e, esize], unsigned); constant integer res = Max(element1, element2); Elem[results[r], e, esize] = res<esize-1:0>; for r = 0 to nreg-1 Z[dn+r, VL] = results[r];

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:

The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
- The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
- The values of the NZCV flags.
The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
- The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
- The values of the NZCV flags.
