VECTOR

The unsuffixed register form copies the complete source vector image to Vd. The predicated register form replaces each active destination lane with the corresponding Vn lane and retains every inactive destination lane.

For a memory source, the effective address supplies the contiguous anchor and each active lane reads its corresponding element into Vd; inactive lanes issue no access and retain their old values. For a memory destination, each active lane stores its corresponding Vn element and each inactive lane issues no access.

The base register forms contiguous longword addresses. Active predicate lanes read memory and replace the corresponding Vd lanes; the inactive lane issues no access and retains its old value.
