__lsx_vfmaxa_d

LSX intrinsic · group: Floating Point Computation

Synopsis

__m128d __lsx_vfmaxa_d (__m128d a, __m128d b)
#include <lsxintrin.h>
Instruction: vfmaxa.d vr, vr, vr
CPU Flags: LSX

Description

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

Operation

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
  if (abs(a.fp64[i]) > abs(b.fp64[i])) {
    dst.fp64[i] = a.fp64[i];
  } else if (abs(b.fp64[i]) > abs(a.fp64[i])) {
    dst.fp64[i] = b.fp64[i];
  } else {
    dst.fp64[i] = fmax(a.fp64[i], b.fp64[i]);
  }
}

Tested on real machine.
