mulhsu

Signed/unsigned multiply high

This instruction is defined by:

Encoding

Synopsis

Multiply the signed value in rs1 by the unsigned value in rs2, and store the upper half of the result in rd. The lower half is thrown away.

If both the upper and lower halves are needed, it suggested to use the sequence:

  mulhsu rdh, rs1, rs2
  mul    rdl, rs1, rs2
---

Microarchitectures may look for that sequence and fuse the operations.

Access

Always

Decode Variables

Bits<5> rs2 = $encoding[24:20];
Bits<5> rs1 = $encoding[19:15];
Bits<5> rd = $encoding[11:7];

Execution

Pruned, XLEN == 64
