BFCVTN

Multi-vector floating-point convert from single-precision to interleaved BFloat16 format

Convert to BFloat16 from single-precision, each element of the two source vectors, and place the two-way interleaved results in the half-width destination elements.

This instruction follows SME2 floating-point numerical behaviors corresponding to instructions that place their results in one or more SVE Z vectors.

This instruction is unpredicated.

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2) then UNDEFINED; constant integer n = UInt(Zn:'0'); constant integer d = UInt(Zd);

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<Zn1>

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

<Zn2>

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

Operation

CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer elements = VL DIV 32; bits(VL) result; constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[n+0, VL]; constant bits(VL) operand2 = Z[n+1, VL]; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant bits(32) element1 = Elem[operand1, e, 32]; constant bits(32) element2 = Elem[operand2, e, 32]; constant bits(16) res1 = FPConvertBF(element1, FPCR); constant bits(16) res2 = FPConvertBF(element2, FPCR); Elem[result, 2*e + 0, 16] = res1; Elem[result, 2*e + 1, 16] = res2; Z[d, VL] = result;
