 * Instructions suited to 3D GPU workloads (dotproduct, crossproduct, normalise) are out of scope: this document is for more general-purpose instructions that underpin and are critical to general-purpose Vector workloads (including GPU and VPU)
 * Instructions related to the adaptation of CRs for use as predicate masks are covered separately, by crweird operations.  See [[sv/cr_int_predication]].

-The vmsbf.m instruction takes a mask register as input and writes results to a mask register. The instruction writes a 1 to all active mask elements before the first source element that is a 1, then writes a 0 to that element and all following active elements. If there is no set bit in the source vector, then all active elements in the destination are written with a 1.

-The vector mask set-including-first instruction is similar to set-before-first, except it also includes the element with a set bit.
