FMAXNMP (scalar)

Floating-point Maximum Number of Pair of elements (scalar). This instruction compares two vector elements in the source SIMD&FP register and writes the largest of the floating-point values as a scalar 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.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Half-precision and Single-precision and double-precision

Half-precision
(FEAT_FP16)

if !HaveFP16Ext() then UNDEFINED; integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer esize = 16; if sz == '1' then UNDEFINED; integer datasize = esize * 2; integer elements = 2; ReduceOp op = if o1 == '1' then ReduceOp_FMINNUM else ReduceOp_FMAXNUM;

Single-precision and double-precision

integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer esize = 32 << UInt(sz); integer datasize = esize * 2; integer elements = 2; ReduceOp op = if o1 == '1' then ReduceOp_FMINNUM else ReduceOp_FMAXNUM;
