F1CVTL, F2CVTL

Multi-vector floating-point convert from 8-bit floating-point to deinterleaved half-precision

Convert each 8-bit floating-point element of the source vector to half-precision while downscaling the value, and place the deinterleaved results in the corresponding 16-bit elements of the destination vectors. F1CVTL scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE[3:0]). F2CVTL scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE2[3:0]). The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for F1CVTL is selected by FPMR.F8S1. The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for F2CVTL is selected by FPMR.F8S2.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 2 classes: F1CVTL and F2CVTL

Assembler Symbols

<Zd1>

Is the name of the first scalable vector register of the destination multi-vector group, encoded as "Zd" times 2.

<Zd2>

Is the name of the second scalable vector register of the destination multi-vector group, encoded as "Zd" times 2 plus 1.

<Zn>

Is the name of the source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

Operation

CheckFPMREnabled(); CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer pairs = VL DIV 16; bits(VL) operand = Z[n, VL]; bits(VL) result1; bits(VL) result2; for p = 0 to pairs-1 bits(8) element1 = Elem[operand, 2*p + 0, 8]; bits(8) element2 = Elem[operand, 2*p + 1, 8]; Elem[result1, p, 16] = FP8ConvertFP(element1, issrc2, FPCR, FPMR); Elem[result2, p, 16] = FP8ConvertFP(element2, issrc2, FPCR, FPMR); Z[d+0, VL] = result1; Z[d+1, VL] = result2;
