8-bit floating-point dot product to single-precision
This instruction calculates the fused sum-of-products of a group of four 8-bit floating-point values held in each 32-bit element of the first source and second source vectors. The single-precision sum-of-products are scaled by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE), before being destructively added without intermediate rounding to the corresponding single-precision elements of the destination vector.
The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for the elements of the first source vector and the second source vector is selected by FPMR.F8S1 and FPMR.F8S2 respectively.
This instruction is unpredicated.
