Floating-Point Multiply (Scalar)

FMUL <Hd|Sd|Dd>, <Hn|Sn|Dn>, <Hm|Sm|Dm>

Multiplies two floating-point values.

Details

Multiplies two scalar floating-point operands and writes the result to the destination register. The operation respects IEEE 754 rounding modes and may generate floating-point exception conditions (invalid, overflow, underflow, inexact). The instruction operates on Half-precision (16-bit), Single-precision (32-bit), or Double-precision (64-bit) formats, determined by the type field. This is an AArch64-only instruction.

Pseudocode Operation

Rd ← FP_Multiply(Rn, Rm)
if (type == 00) then operands are H-registers (16-bit)
else if (type == 01) then operands are S-registers (32-bit)
else if (type == 10) then operands are D-registers (64-bit)

Description

Floating-point Multiply (scalar). This instruction multiplies the floating-point values of the two source SIMD&FP registers, and writes the result 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

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);

bits(esize) product = FPMul(operand1, operand2, FPCR);
Elem[result, 0, esize] = product;

V[d, 128] = result;
