FMAX (vector)
Floating-point maximum (vector)
This instruction compares corresponding vector elements
in the two source SIMD&FP registers,
places the larger of each of the two floating-point values
into a vector, and writes the vector to the
destination SIMD&FP register.
When FPCR.AH is 0,
the behavior is as follows:
Negative zero compares less than positive zero.
When FPCR.DN is 0,
if either element is a NaN, the result is a quiet NaN.
When FPCR.DN is 1,
if either element is a NaN, the result is Default NaN.
When FPCR.AH is 1,
the behavior is as follows:
If both elements are zeros, regardless of the sign of either zero,
the result is the second element.
If either element is a NaN, regardless of the value of
FPCR.DN, the result is the second element.
This instruction can generate a floating-point exception.
Depending on the settings in FPCR,
the exception results in either a flag being set in FPSR,
or a synchronous exception being generated.
For more information, see
Floating-point exception traps.
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.
It has encodings from 2 classes:
