SMAX (immediate)

Signed maximum with immediate (unpredicated)

Determine the signed maximum of an immediate and each element of the source vector, and destructively place the results in the corresponding elements of the source vector. The immediate is a signed 8-bit value in the range -128 to +127, inclusive. This instruction is unpredicated.

SMAX <Zdn>.<T>, <Zdn>.<T>, #<imm>

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer dn = UInt(Zdn); constant boolean unsigned = FALSE; constant integer imm = Int(imm8, unsigned);

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn>

Is the name of the source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zdn" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

Is the signed immediate operand, in the range -128 to 127, encoded in the "imm8" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn, VL]; bits(VL) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant integer element1 = Int(Elem[operand1, e, esize], unsigned); Elem[result, e, esize] = Max(element1, imm)<esize-1:0>; Z[dn, VL] = result;

Operational information

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

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is constrained unpredictable:
