MISSING: Vector Facility for z/Architecture

[Fish-Git]

Vector Facility for z/Architecture   (March, 2015)

The vector facility for z/Architecture may be available on models implementing z/Architecture. When the facility is installed and enabled, vector instructions are available, having access to 32 128-bit registers.

The instructions are described in four chapters:

• Chapter 21 describes the vector facility support instructions
• Chapter 22 describes the vector facility integer instructions
• Chapter 23 describes the vector facility string instructions
• Chapter 24 describes the vector facility floating-point instructions.

Note: ESA/390 provided an optional vector facility, however this facility was never available on any processor capable of the z/Architecture architectural mode. The vector facility for z/Architecture differs from the ESA/390 vector facility in instruction and register definitions.
