BFDOT (indexed)

BFloat16 floating-point indexed dot product

This instruction delimits the source vectors into pairs of BFloat16 elements. The BFloat16 pairs within the second source vector are specified using an immediate index which selects the same BFloat16 pair position within each 128-bit vector segment. The index range is from 0 to 3.

If FEAT_EBF16 is not implemented or FPCR.EBF is 0, this instruction:

• Performs an unfused sum-of-products of each pair of adjacent BFloat16 elements in the first source vector with the specified pair of elements in the second vector. The intermediate single-precision products are rounded before they are summed, and the intermediate sum is rounded before accumulation into the single-precision destination element that overlaps with the corresponding pair of BFloat16 elements in the first source vector.
• Uses the non-IEEE 754 Round-to-Odd rounding mode, which forces bit 0 of an inexact result to 1, and rounds an overflow to an appropriately signed Infinity.
• Flushes denormalized inputs and results to zero, as if FPCR.{FZ, FIZ} is {1, 1}.
• Disables alternative floating point behaviors, as if FPCR.AH is 0.

If FEAT_EBF16 is implemented and FPCR.EBF is 1, then this instruction:

• Performs a fused sum-of-products of each pair of adjacent BFloat16 elements in the first source vector with the specified pair of elements in the second vector. The intermediate single-precision products are not rounded before they are summed, but the intermediate sum is rounded before accumulation into the single-precision destination element that overlaps with the corresponding pair of BFloat16 elements in the first source vector.
• Follows all other floating-point behaviors that apply to single-precision arithmetic, as governed by FPCR.RMode, FPCR.FZ, FPCR.AH, and FPCR.FIZ.

Irrespective of FEAT_EBF16 and FPCR.EBF, this instruction:

• Does not modify the cumulative FPSR exception bits (IDC, IXC, UFC, OFC, DZC, and IOC).
• Disables trapped floating-point exceptions, as if the FPCR trap enable bits (IDE, IXE, UFE, OFE, DZE, and IOE) are all zero.
• Generates only the default NaN, as if FPCR.DN is 1.

This instruction is unpredicated.
