TBL

Look up bytes in a table

Use each index byte to select a byte from one or two table registers. Indices outside the table produce zero.

Operation

Pseudo-C · selected form
dst[i] = index[i] < table.length ? table[index[i]] : 0

Simplified pseudocode for the selected form.

What to watch for

  • All eight index bits are used. With one table register, an index of 16 produces zero.
  • The two-register form treats the table as 32 consecutive bytes.

Exception information & execution requirements

    Complete exception conditions have not been imported.

    Availability depends on execution-level controls for AdvSIMD. This ACLE import does not contain an exhaustive architectural exception list.

    Feature availability alone does not guarantee execution: OS state and execution-level controls also apply. Use the linked architecture documentation for the full exception conditions.

    Performance measurements are not included in this preview. Latency and throughput depend on the exact form and microarchitecture.

    Sources & provenance

    Technical fields are imported from pinned upstream files. Explanations and explorer behavior are maintained separately.
