BFloat16 dot product by indexed element to single-precision
This instruction delimits the source vectors into pairs of BFloat16 elements. The BFloat16 pairs within the second source vector are specified using an immediate index that selects the same BFloat16 pair position within each 128-bit vector segment. The index range is from 0 to 3.
If FEAT_EBF16 is not implemented or FPCR.EBF is 0, this instruction:
If FEAT_EBF16 is implemented and FPCR.EBF is 1, this instruction:
Irrespective of FEAT_EBF16 and FPCR.EBF, this instruction:
This instruction is unpredicated.
ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.
