Atomic unsigned maximum on halfword in memory atomically loads a 16-bit halfword from memory, compares it against the value held in a register, and stores the larger value back to memory, treating the values as unsigned numbers. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the destination register.

This instruction is used by the alias STUMAXH, STUMAXLH.

| <Ws> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field. |
| <Wt> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
| <Xn|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field. |
| Alias | Is preferred when |

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
