Pseudocode Operation

if MSR.VSX=0 then
    VSX_Unavailable()
do i = 0 to 1
    src ←VSR[32×BX+B].dword[i]
    VSR[32×TX+T].dword[i] ←bfp64_ABSOLUTE(src)
end

Programming Note

This instruction is used to compute the absolute value of each double-precision floating-point element in a vector. Ensure that VSX (Vector Scalar Extensions) is enabled by checking and setting the appropriate bit in the MSR register. The operation processes two elements per vector register, so ensure proper alignment if manipulating individual elements directly.
