MVFR1

Describes the features provided by the AArch32 Advanced SIMD and floating-point implementation.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.

Configuration

AArch32 System register MVFR1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MVFR1_EL1[31:0].

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to MVFR1 are UNDEFINED.

Implemented only if the implementation includes Advanced SIMD and floating-point instructions.

Field descriptions

SIMDFMAC, bits [31:28]

Advanced SIMD Fused Multiply-Accumulate. Indicates whether the Advanced SIMD implementation provides fused multiply accumulate instructions.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

SIMDFMAC	Meaning
0b0000	Not implemented.
0b0001	Implemented.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the permitted values are 0b0000 and 0b0001.

The Advanced SIMD and floating-point implementations must provide the same level of support for these instructions.

Access to this field is RO.

FPHP, bits [27:24]

Floating-Point Half-Precision. Indicates the level of half-precision floating-point support.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

FPHP	Meaning
0b0000	Not supported.
0b0001	Floating-point half-precision conversion instructions are supported for conversion between single-precision and half-precision.
0b0010	As for 0b0001, and adds instructions for conversion between double-precision and half-precision.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the permitted values are:

0b0000 in an implementation without floating-point support.

0b0011 in an implementation with floating-point support that includes the FEAT_FP16 extension.

The level of support indicated by this field must be equivalent to the level of support indicated by the SIMDHP field, meaning the permitted values are:

Half-Precision instructions supported	FPHP	SIMDHP

0b0010	As for 0b0001, and adds support for half-precision floating-point arithmetic.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the permitted values are:

0b0000 in an implementation without SIMD floating-point support.
0b0001 in an implementation with SIMD floating-point support that does not include the FEAT_FP16 extension.
0b0010 in an implementation with SIMD floating-point support that includes the FEAT_FP16 extension.

The level of support indicated by this field must be equivalent to the level of support indicated by the FPHP field, meaning the permitted values are:

Half-Precision instructions supported	FPHP	SIMDHP
No support	0b0000	0b0000
Conversions only	0b0010	0b0001
Conversions and arithmetic	0b0011	0b0010
