xperm8

Crossbar permutation (bytes)

This instruction is defined by:

Zbkx, version >= 0

This instruction is included in the following profiles:

Encoding

Assembly format

xperm8 rd, rs1, rs2

Synopsis

The xperm8 instruction operates on bytes. The rs1 register contains a vector of XLEN/8 8-bit elements. The rs2 register contains a vector of XLEN/8 8-bit indexes. The result is each element in rs2 replaced by the indexed element in rs1, or zero if the index into rs2 is out of bounds.
