VZIP

Vector Zip interleaves the elements of two vectors.

The elements of the vectors can be 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit. There is no distinction between data types.

The following figure shows an example of the operation of VZIP doubleword operation for data type 8.
VZIP doubleword operation for data type 8

The following figure shows an example of the operation of VZIP quadword operation for data type 32.

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 ) .

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>

For the 64-bit SIMD vector variant: is the data type for the elements of the vectors, encoded in size:

size <dt>
00 8
01 16
1x RESERVED

For the 128-bit SIMD vector variant: is the data type for the elements of the vectors, encoded in size:

size <dt>
00 8
01 16
10 32
11 RESERVED
<Qd>

Is the 128-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "D:Vd" field as <Qd>*2.

<Qm>

Is the 128-bit name of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "M:Vm" field as <Qm>*2.

<Dd>

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

<Dm>

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