Abstract:
An apparatus comprises processing circuitry for performing, in response to a vector instruction, a plurality of lanes of processing or respective data elements with at least one operand vector to generate corresponding result data elements of a result vector. The processing circuitry may support performing at least two of the lanes of processing with different rounding modes for generating rounding values for the corresponding result data elements of the result vector. This allows two or more calculations with different rounding modes to be executed in response to a single instruction, to improve performance.
