SEL (predicates)

Conditionally select elements from two predicates

Read active elements from the first source predicate and inactive elements from the second source predicate and place in the corresponding elements of the destination predicate. Does not set the condition flags.

This instruction is used by the alias MOV (predicate, predicated, merging).

Assembler Symbols

<Pd>

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

<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Pn>

Is the name of the first source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pn" field.

<Pm>

Is the name of the second source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pm" field.

Alias Conditions

AliasIs preferred when
MOV (predicate, predicated, merging)Pd == Pm

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; constant bits(PL) operand1 = P[n, PL]; constant bits(PL) operand2 = P[m, PL]; bits(PL) result; constant integer psize = esize DIV 8; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant bit element1 = PredicateElement(operand1, e, esize); constant bit element2 = PredicateElement(operand2, e, esize); if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend(element1, psize); else Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend(element2, psize); P[d, PL] = result;

Operational information

If FEAT_SVE2 is implemented or FEAT_SME is implemented, then if PSTATE.DIT is 1:
