FMUL 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

FNMULS s10, s10, s14
FMULDLT d0, d7, d8
