## CPY (SIMD&FP scalar)

Copy SIMD&FP scalar register to vector elements (predicated)

Copy the SIMD & floating-point scalar source register to each active element in the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

This instruction is used by the alias MOV (SIMD&FP scalar, predicated).

CPY <Zd>.<T>, <Pg>/M, <V><n>

if !HaveSVE() && !HaveSME() then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); integer g = UInt(Pg); integer n = UInt(Vn); integer d = UInt(Zd);

### Assembler Symbols

<Zd> | Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<T> | Is the size specifier, encoded in size:
size | <T>
--- | ---
00 | B
01 | H
10 | S
11 | D

<Pg> | Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<V> | Is a width specifier, encoded in size:
size | <V>
--- | ---
00 | B
01 | H
10 | S
11 | D

<n> | Is the number [0-31] of the source SIMD&FP register, encoded in the "Vn" field.

### Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; bits(esize) operand1 = if AnyActiveElement(mask, esize) then V[n, esize] else Zeros(esize); bits(VL) result = Z[d, VL]; for e = 0 to elements-1 if ElemP[mask, e, esize] == '1' then Elem[result, e, esize] = operand1; Z[d, VL] = result;

### Operational information

If FEAT_SVE2 is implemented or FEAT_SME is implemented, then when PSTATE.DIT is 1:

- The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
  - The values of the data supplied in any of its operand registers when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
  - The values of the NZCV flags.
- The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
  - The values of the data supplied in any of its operand registers when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
  - The values of the NZCV flags.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX instruction must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is unpredictable:

- The MOVPRFX instruction must be unpredicated, or be predicated using the same governing predicate register and source element size as this instruction.
- The MOVPRFX instruction must specify the same destination register as this instruction.
- The destination register must not refer to architectural register state referenced by any other source operand register of this instruction.
