Vector Floating-point Programming

6.7.15FMUL and FNMUL

Floating-point multiply and negate-multiply. FMUL and FNMUL can be scalar, vector, or mixed (see Vector and scalar operations on page 6-7).

Syntax

FMUL<precision>{cond} Fd, Fn, Fm

FNMUL<precision>{cond} Fd, Fn, Fm

where:

<precision>

 

 

must be either S for single-precision, or D for double-precision.

cond

is an optional condition code (see VFP and condition codes on page 6-8).

Fd

is the VFP register for the result.

Fn

is the VFP register holding the first operand.

Fm

is the VFP register holding the second operand.

The precision of Fd, Fn and Fm must match the precision specified in <precision>.

Usage

The FMUL instruction multiplies the values in Fn and Fm and places the result in Fd.

The FNMUL instruction multiplies the values in Fn and Fm and places the negation of the result in Fd.

Exceptions

FMUL and FNMUL operations can produce Invalid Operation, Overflow, Underflow, or

Inexact exceptions.

Examples

s10, s10, s14
