Multi-vector 8-bit floating-point convert to half-precision
This instruction converts each 8-bit floating-point element of the source vector to half-precision while downscaling the value, and places the results in the corresponding 16-bit elements of the destination vectors. F1CVT scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE[3:0]). F2CVT scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE2[3:0]). The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for F1CVT is selected by FPMR.F8S1. The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for F2CVT is selected by FPMR.F8S2.
This instruction is unpredicated.
It has encodings from 2 classes: F1CVT and F2CVT
