__lsx_vmulwev_w_hu

LSX intrinsic · group: Integer Computation

Synopsis

__m128i __lsx_vmulwev_w_hu (__m128i a, __m128i b)
#include <lsxintrin.h>
Instruction: vmulwev.w.hu vr, vr, vr
CPU Flags: LSX

Description

Multiply the even-positioned unsigned 16-bit elements in a and the corresponding unsigned 16-bit elements in b, extending both to 32-bit, and save the 32-bit result in dst.

Operation

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
  dst.word[i] = (u32)(u16)a.half[2 * i] * (u32)(u16)b.half[2 * i];
}

// Expands to:

if (0) {
  dst.word[0] = ((u32)((u16)a.half[0])) * ((u32)((u16)b.half[0]));
  dst.word[1] = ((u32)((u16)a.half[2])) * ((u32)((u16)b.half[2]));
  dst.word[2] = ((u32)((u16)a.half[4])) * ((u32)((u16)b.half[4]));
  dst.word[3] = ((u32)((u16)a.half[6])) * ((u32)((u16)b.half[6]));
}

Tested on real machine.
