The destination is CR Field 8, and the destination predicate mask indicates to target the first two elements. Destination predicate zeroing is enabled, and the destination predicate is only set in the 2nd bit. -mask is 0b0011, mode is all ones. +mask is 0b0011, mode is all zeros. Let us first consider what should go into element 0 (CR Field 8): * The destination predicate bit is zero, and zeroing is enabled. - Therefore, what is in the source is irrelevant: the result must - be zero.
