VRECPE

Vector Reciprocal Estimate finds an approximate reciprocal of each element in the operand vector, and places the results in the destination vector.

The operand and result elements are the same type, and can be floating-point numbers or unsigned integers.

For details of the operation performed by this instruction see Floating-point reciprocal square root estimate and step.

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 ) .

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If size == '01' && InITBlock(), then one of the following behaviors must occur:

Assembler Symbols

<c>

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

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<dt>

Is the data type for the elements of the vectors, encoded in F:size:

F size <dt>
0 10 U32
1 01 F16
1 10 F32
<Qd>

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

<Qm>

Is the 128-bit name of the 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.

<Dm>

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

Operation
