Title: Vector atomic memory update instruction
Inventor: NIGEL JOHN STEPHENS
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2016-01-20
Abstract: A vector atomic memory update instruction identifies an address vector which comprises a plurality of data elements in a predetermined sequence, including at least one active data element, and triggers at least one atomic memory update operation. Each atomic memory update operation comprises an atomic update to a memory location having an address determined based on a corresponding active data element of the address vector. In response to detecting a fault condition for the address determined based on a faulting active data element of the address vector, the processing circuitry is configured to suppress the atomic memory update operation for the faulting active data element and any subsequent active data element in the predetermined sequence. When the faulting active data element is a first active data element in the predetermined sequence, a fault handling response is triggered, and when the faulting active data element is an active data element other than the first active data element in said predetermined sequence, the fault handling response is supressed and status information indicating which data element of the address vector is the faulting active data element is stored.
