mulhu

Unsigned multiply high

This instruction is defined by:

  • anyOf:

    • M, version >= 0

    • Zmmul, version >= 0

This instruction is included in the following profiles:

  • RVA20S64 (Mandatory)

  • RVA20U64 (Mandatory)

  • RVA22S64 (Mandatory)

  • RVA22U64 (Mandatory)

Encoding

svg

Assembly format

mulhu rd, rs1, rs2

Synopsis

This instruction must have data-independent timing when extension Zkt is enabled.

Multiply the unsigned values in rs1 to 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:


  mulhu rdh, rs1, rs2
  mul   rdl, rs1, rs2
---

Microarchitectures may look for that sequence and fuse the operations.
