fdiv

Floating-Point Divide (Half-Precision)

FDIV <Vd>.8H, <Vn>.8H, <Vm>.8H

Divides two half-precision floating-point vectors.

Details

Divides half-precision floating-point elements in Vn by corresponding elements in Vm, writing quotients to Vd. Operates on 8 half-precision (16-bit) floating-point values packed in 128-bit vectors. No condition flags are affected; division by zero and other floating-point exceptions depend on FPCR settings. Requires FEAT_FP16 extension; AArch64-only.

Pseudocode Operation

for i = 0 to 7
  Vd[i*16 +: 16] ← FP16_Div(Vn[i*16 +: 16], Vm[i*16 +: 16])

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;
