ZIP1

Zip vectors (primary). This instruction reads adjacent vector elements from the lower half of two source SIMD&FP registers as pairs, interleaves the pairs and places them into a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register. The first pair from the first source register is placed into the two lowest vector elements, with subsequent pairs taken alternately from each source register.

This instruction can be used with ZIP2 to interleave two vectors.

The following figure shows an example of the operation of ZIP1 and ZIP2 with the arrangement specifier 8B.

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.

integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); if size:Q == '110' then UNDEFINED; integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); integer datasize = if Q == '1' then 128 else 64; integer elements = datasize DIV esize; integer part = UInt(op); integer pairs = elements DIV 2;
