Visualizing the ARM64 Instruction Set (2024)


duction Lately I’ve been doing a lot of work with the ARM64 instruction set, and I thought it would be fun to try to visualize it. ARM64 encodes every instruction as a 32-bit integer, so one way to visualize the instruction set is by plotting the instructions along a space-filling curve, such as a Hilbert curve1, and coloring them according to their instruction class (i.e., general, advsimd, float, sve, etc…).
