FCVTN (half-precision to 8-bit floating-point)

Half-precision to 8-bit floating-point convert and narrow (vector). This instruction converts half-precision elements of the two source vectors to 8-bit floating-point while scaling the values by 2SInt(FPMR.NSCALE[4:0]), and places the in-order results in the 8-bit elements of the destination vector.

The 8-bit floating-point encoding format is selected by FPMR.F8D.

Operation

CheckFPMREnabled(); CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand1 = V[n, datasize]; bits(datasize) operand2 = V[m, datasize]; bits(datasize) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 Elem[result, 0*elements+e, 8] = FPConvertFP8(Elem[operand1, e, 16], FPCR, FPMR, 8); Elem[result, 1*elements+e, 8] = FPConvertFP8(Elem[operand2, e, 16], FPCR, FPMR, 8); V[d, datasize] = result;
