14.6 Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD)
Table 14-7 shows
SAD
instructions and gives their cycle timing behavior.
14.6.1 Example interlocks
Table 14-8 shows interlock examples using
USAD8
and
USADA8
instructions.

Table 14-8 Example interlocks
Instruction sequence Behavior
USAD8 R1,R2,R3
ADD R5,R6,R1 Takes three cycles because USAD8 has a Result Latency of two, and the ADD requires
the result of the USAD8 instruction.
USAD8 R1,R2,R3
MOV R9,R9
ADD R5,R6,R1 Takes three cycles. The
MOV
instruction is scheduled during the Result Latency of
the USAD8 instruction.
USAD8 R1,R2,R3
USADA8 R1,R4,R5,R1 Takes two cycles. The Result Latency is one less because the result is used as the
accumulate for a subsequent
USADA8 instruction.
