BFCVT

Single-precision convert to BFloat16 (scalar)

This instruction converts the single-precision floating-point value in the 32-bit SIMD&FP source register to BFloat16 format and writes the result in the 16-bit SIMD&FP destination register.

ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is supported.

Encoding

BFCVT <Hd>, <Sn>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_BF16) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn);

Assembler Symbols

<Hd>

Is the 16-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Sn>

Is the 32-bit name of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

AArch64_CheckFPEnabled(); let operand : bits(32) = V{}(n); let merge : boolean = IsMerging(FPCR()); var result : bits(128) = if merge then V{128}(d) else Zeros{128}; result[0+:16] = FPConvertBF(operand, FPCR()); V{128}(d) = result;
