FDOT (2-way, multiple vectors, FP16 to FP32)

Multi-vector half-precision floating-point dot-product

The instruction computes the fused sum-of-products of a pair of half-precision floating-point values held in the corresponding 32-bit elements of the two or four first and second source vectors, without intermediate rounding. The single-precision sum-of-products are destructively added to the corresponding single-precision elements of the ZA single-vector groups.

The single-vector group within each half of or each quarter of the ZA array is selected by the sum of the vector select register and offset, modulo half or quarter the number of ZA array vectors.

The vector group symbol, VGx2 or VGx4, indicates that the ZA operand consists of two or four ZA single-vector groups respectively. The vector group symbol is preferred for disassembly, but optional in assembler source code.

This instruction follows SME ZA-targeting floating-point behaviors.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Two ZA single-vectors and Four ZA single-vectors

Two ZA single-vectors
(FEAT_SME2)

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then UNDEFINED; constant integer v = UInt('010':Rv); constant integer n = UInt(Zn:'0'); constant integer m = UInt(Zm:'0'); constant integer offset = UInt(off3); constant integer nreg = 2;

Four ZA single-vectors
(FEAT_SME2)

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then UNDEFINED; constant integer v = UInt('010':Rv); constant integer n = UInt(Zn:'00'); constant integer m = UInt(Zm:'00'); constant integer offset = UInt(off3); constant integer nreg = 4;
