FLOGB

Floating-point base 2 logarithm as integer

This instruction returns the signed integer base 2 logarithm of each floating-point input element |x| after normalization.

This is the unbiased exponent of x used in the representation of the floating-point value, such that, for positive x, x = significand × 2exponent.

The integer results are placed in elements of the destination vector which have the same width (esize) as the floating-point input elements:

Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified or are set to zero, depending on whether merging or zeroing predication is selected.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Merging and Zeroing

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size <T>
00 RESERVED
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Zn>

Is the name of the source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; constant bits(VL) operand = if AnyActiveElement(mask, esize) then Z[n, VL] else Zeros(VL); bits(VL) result = if merging then Z[d, VL] else Zeros(VL); for e = 0 to elements-1 if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then constant bits(esize) element = Elem[operand, e, esize]; Elem[result, e, esize] = FPLogB(element, FPCR); Z[d, VL] = result;

Operational information

For the "Merging" variant:

The merging variant of this instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and the merging variant of this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
