__lasx_xvfmaxa_s

LASX intrinsic · group: Floating Point Computation

Synopsis

__m256 __lasx_xvfmaxa_s (__m256 a, __m256 b)
#include <lasxintrin.h>
Instruction: xvfmaxa.s xr, xr, xr
CPU Flags: LASX

Description

Compute the maximum (maxNumMag) of single precision floating point elements in a and b, selecting the element with the larger absolute value.

Operation

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
  if (abs(a.fp32[i]) > abs(b.fp32[i])) {
    dst.fp32[i] = a.fp32[i];
  } else if (abs(b.fp32[i]) > abs(a.fp32[i])) {
    dst.fp32[i] = b.fp32[i];
  } else {
    dst.fp32[i] = fmax(a.fp32[i], b.fp32[i]);
  }
}

Tested on real machine.
