Vector Floating-Point Divide

FDIV <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>, <Vm>.<T>

Divides elements of floating-point vectors.

Details

Divides corresponding floating-point elements in Vn by elements in Vm, storing results in Vd. Supports both 32-bit (sz=0) and 64-bit (sz=1) floating-point lanes across 64-bit (Q=0) or 128-bit (Q=1) vectors. Floating-point exception behavior follows IEEE 754 semantics including division-by-zero handling; no integer condition flags are affected. Executes in AArch64 state with NEON extension.

Pseudocode Operation

if sz == '0' then
  for i = 0 to (datasize / 32) - 1
    Vd[i*32 +: 32] ← FPDiv(Vn[i*32 +: 32], Vm[i*32 +: 32], FPCR)
else
  for i = 0 to (datasize / 64) - 1
    Vd[i*64 +: 64] ← FPDiv(Vn[i*64 +: 64], Vm[i*64 +: 64], FPCR)

Description

Floating-point Divide (vector). This instruction divides the floating-point values in the elements in the first source SIMD&FP register, by the floating-point values in the corresponding elements in the second source SIMD&FP register, places the results in a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register. This instruction can generate a floating-point exception. Depending on the settings in FPCR, the exception results in either a flag being set in FPSR, or a synchronous exception being generated. For more information, see Floating-point exception traps. Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64();
bits(datasize) operand1 = V[n, datasize];
bits(datasize) operand2 = V[m, datasize];
bits(datasize) result;
bits(esize) element1;
bits(esize) element2;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    element1 = Elem[operand1, e, esize];
    element2 = Elem[operand2, e, esize];
    Elem[result, e, esize] = FPDiv(element1, element2, FPCR);

V[d, datasize] = result;
