MUL (by element)

Multiply (vector, by element). This instruction multiplies the vector elements in the first source SIMD&FP register by the specified value in the second source SIMD&FP register, places the results in a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register. All the values in this instruction are unsigned integer values.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:Q:

10 S
11 RESERVED
<index>

Is the element index, encoded in size:H:L:M:

size <index>

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand1 = V[n, datasize]; bits(idxdsize) operand2 = V[m, idxdsize]; bits(datasize) result; integer element1; integer element2; bits(esize) product; element2 = UInt(Elem[operand2, index, esize]); for e = 0 to elements-1 element1 = UInt(Elem[operand1, e, esize]); product = (element1*element2)<esize-1:0>; Elem[result, e, esize] = product; V[d, datasize] = result;
