VPADD (integer)

Vector Pairwise Add (integer) adds adjacent pairs of elements of two vectors, and places the results in the destination vector.

The operands and result are doubleword vectors.

The operand and result elements must all be the same type, and can be 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit integers. There is no distinction between signed and unsigned integers.

The following figure shows an example of the operation of VPADD doubleword operation for data type I16.

Depending on settings in the CPACR, NSACR, and HCPTR registers, and the Security state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to execute the instruction might be undefined, or trapped to Hyp mode. For more information see Enabling Advanced SIMD and floating-point support.

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

if size == '11' || Q == '1' then UNDEFINED; esize = 8 << UInt(size); elements = 64 DIV esize; d = UInt(D:Vd); n = UInt(N:Vn); m = UInt(M:Vm);

T1

VPADD{<c>}{<q>}.<dt> {<Dd>, }<Dn>, <Dm>

if size == '11' || Q == '1' then UNDEFINED; esize = 8 << UInt(size); elements = 64 DIV esize; d = UInt(D:Vd); n = UInt(N:Vn); m = UInt(M:Vm);

Assembler Symbols

<c>

For encoding A1: see Standard assembler syntax fields. This encoding must be unconditional.

For encoding T1: see Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<dt>

Is the data type for the elements of the vectors, encoded in size:

size <dt>
00 I8
01 I16
10 I32
<Dd>

Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "D:Vd" field.

<Dn>

Is the 64-bit name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "N:Vn" field.

<Dm>

Is the 64-bit name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "M:Vm" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); CheckAdvSIMDEnabled(); bits(64) dest; h = elements DIV 2; for e = 0 to h-1 Elem[dest,e,esize] = Elem[D[n],2*e,esize] + Elem[D[n],2*e+1,esize]; Elem[dest,e+h,esize] = Elem[D[m],2*e,esize] + Elem[D[m],2*e+1,esize]; D[d] = dest;
