Freescale Semiconductor PowerPC e500 Core - Integer Select (Isel) APU; Performance Monitor APU

PowerPC e500 Core Family Reference Manual, Rev. 1
3-60 Freescale Semiconductor
Instruction Model
3.8.2 Integer Select (isel) APU
The integer select APU consists of the isel instruction, a conditional register move that helps
eliminate branches. Further information about isel may be found in the APUs chapter of the EREF.
3.8.3 Performance Monitor APU
The e500 core complex implements a performance monitor as an APU. Software communication
with the performance monitor APU is achieved through performance monitor registers (PMRs)
rather than SPRs. New instructions are provided to move to and from these PMRs. Performance
monitor APU instructions are described in Table 3-39. Full descriptions of these instructions can
be found in the EREF chapter, “Instruction Set.”

SPE Double Word Load/Store Instructions
Vector Load Double Word into Double Word — evldd rD,d(rA)
Vector Load Double Word into Double Word Indexed — evlddx rD,rA,rB
Vector Merge High — evmergehi rD,rA,rB
Vector Merge Low — evmergelo rD,rA,rB
Vector Store Double of Double — evstdd rS,d(rA)
Vector Store Double of Double Indexed — evstddx rS,rA,rB
Note: on e500v1, floating-point operations that produce a result of zero may generate an incorrect sign.

Exception detection for these instructions is implementation dependent. On the e500, Infinities, NaNs, and Denorms are
always be treated as Norms. No exceptions are taken if SPEFSCR[FINVE] = 1.
