## natural assembly
* no register dependency, no penalty
```
ld1 {v0.4s}, [r0], #16
fmla v10.4s, v16.4s, v24.s[0]
fmla v11.4s, v16.4s, v24.s[1]

## A53
* 128bit vector load cannot be dual issued with fmla, wait 2 cycles
* 64bit vector load cannot be dual issued with fmla, wait 1 cycle
* 64bit integer load can be dual issued with fmla, no penalty
* pointer update can be dual issued with fmla, no penalty
* 64bit vector load and 64bit vector insert can be dual issued, no penalty
* any vector load cannot be issued on the 4th cycle of each fmla (enters the accumulator pipeline)
### practical guide
* use 64bit vector load only
* issue vector load every three fmla
* 1 cycle to load 64bit, dual issue with the previous interleaved 64bit insert
* load the remaining 64bit into integer register, dual issue with fmla
* update pointer, dual issue with fmla
* insert 64bit into vector from integer register, dual issue with the next interleaved 64bit load
* add nop every three fmla if no load, seems to be faster
