VSX Scalar Negative Multiply-Add Quad-Precision

xsnmaddqp VRT,VRA,VRB
xsnmaddqpo VRT,VRA,VRB

Performs a negative multiply-add operation on quad-precision floating-point values.

Details

Performs a scalar negative multiply-add operation on quad-precision floating-point values, computing VRT = -(VRA × VRB) + VRT. The result is rounded according to the current rounding mode in FPSCR. This instruction requires VSX support and updates FPSCR exception flags based on the operation result.

Pseudocode Operation

VRT[0:127] ← -(VRA[0:127] × VRB[0:127]) + VRT[0:127]
FPSCR ← update_exception_flags(FPSCR, result)

Programming Note

This instruction is used for performing a scalar negative multiply-add operation on quad-precision floating-point numbers. Ensure that the VSX feature is enabled in the MSR register to avoid exceptions. Be cautious of potential overflow and underflow conditions, as indicated by the OX and UX flags in the FPSCR register. The result is rounded according to the rounding mode specified in FPSCR.RN.
