BFloat16 multiply-subtract from single-precision (top)
This instruction widens the odd-numbered BFloat16 elements in the first source vector and the corresponding elements in the second source vector to single-precision format and then destructively multiplies and subtracts these values without intermediate rounding from the single-precision elements of the destination vector that overlap with the corresponding BFloat16 elements in the source vectors. This instruction is unpredicated.
