VABA

Vector Absolute Difference and Accumulate subtracts the elements of one vector from the corresponding elements of another vector, and accumulates the absolute values of the results into the elements of the destination vector.

Operand and result elements are all integers of the same length.

Depending on settings in the CPACR, NSACR, and HCPTR registers, and the Security state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to execute the instruction might be undefined, or trapped to Hyp mode. For more information see Enabling Advanced SIMD and floating-point support.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

Assembler Symbols

<c>

For encoding A1: see Standard assembler syntax fields. This encoding must be unconditional.

For encoding T1: see Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<dt>

Is the data type for the elements of the operands, encoded in U:size:

U size <dt>
0 00 S8
0 01 S16
0 10 S32
1 00 U8
1 01 U16
1 10 U32
<Qd>

Is the 128-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "D:Vd" field as <Qd>*2.

<Qn>

Is the 128-bit name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "N:Vn" field as <Qn>*2.

<Qm>

Is the 128-bit name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "M:Vm" field as <Qm>*2.

<Dd>

Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "D:Vd" field.

<Dn>

Is the 64-bit name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "N:Vn" field.

<Dm>

Is the 64-bit name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "M:Vm" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); CheckAdvSIMDEnabled(); for r = 0 to regs-1 for e = 0 to elements-1 constant op1 = Elem[Din[n+r],e,esize]; constant op2 = Elem[Din[m+r],e,esize]; constant absdiff = Abs(Int(op1,unsigned) - Int(op2,unsigned)); if long_destination then Elem[Q[d>>1],e,2*esize] = Elem[Qin[d>>1],e,2*esize] + absdiff; else Elem[D[d+r],e,esize] = Elem[Din[d+r],e,esize] + absdiff;
