Description

Floating-point Maximum Number (scalar). This instruction compares the first and second source SIMD&FP register values, and writes the larger of the two floating-point values to the destination SIMD&FP register. Regardless of the value of FPCR.AH, the behavior is as follows: 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

CheckFPEnabled64();
bits(esize) operand1 = V[n, esize];
bits(esize) operand2 = V[m, esize];

boolean merge = IsMerging(FPCR);
bits(128) result = if merge then V[n, 128] else Zeros(128);

Elem[result, 0, esize] = FPMaxNum(operand1, operand2, FPCR);
V[d, 128] = result;
