14.21 Floating-point single-precision data processing instructions
This section describes the cycle timing behavior for all single-precision VFP
CDP
instructions.
This includes arithmetic instructions such as
VMUL.F32
, data and immediate moving instructions
such as
“VMOV.F32 <Sd>, #<imm>”
,
VABS.F32
,
VNEG.F32
, and
“VMOV <Sd>, <Sm>”
, and comparison
instructions and conversion instructions.
Table 14-26 shows the floating-point single-precision data processing instructions cycle timing
behavior.

is another
