USAD8

Unsigned Sum of Absolute Differences performs four unsigned 8-bit subtractions, and adds the absolute values of the differences together.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

A1

d = UInt(Rd); n = UInt(Rn); m = UInt(Rm); if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;

T1

USAD8{<c>}{<q>} {<Rd>,} <Rn>, <Rm>

d = UInt(Rd); n = UInt(Rn); m = UInt(Rm); if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE; // Armv8-A removes UNPREDICTABLE for R13

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rd>

Is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Rn>

Is the first general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Rm>

Is the second general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); absdiff1 = Abs(UInt(R[n]<7:0>) - UInt(R[m]<7:0>)); absdiff2 = Abs(UInt(R[n]<15:8>) - UInt(R[m]<15:8>)); absdiff3 = Abs(UInt(R[n]<23:16>) - UInt(R[m]<23:16>)); absdiff4 = Abs(UInt(R[n]<31:24>) - UInt(R[m]<31:24>)); result = absdiff1 + absdiff2 + absdiff3 + absdiff4; R[d] = result<31:0>;
