FCVT (narrowing, FP16 to FP8)

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

Convert each half-precision element of the two source vectors to 8-bit floating-point while scaling the value by 2SInt(FPMR.NSCALE[4:0]), and place the results in the half-width elements of the destination vector. The 8-bit floating-point encoding format is selected by FPMR.F8D.

This instruction is unpredicated.

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

CheckFPMREnabled(); CheckStreamingSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer elements = VL DIV 16; 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(16) element1 = Elem[operand1, e, 16]; constant bits(16) element2 = Elem[operand2, e, 16]; Elem[result, 0*elements + e, 8] = FPConvertFP8(element1, FPCR, FPMR, 8); Elem[result, 1*elements + e, 8] = FPConvertFP8(element2, FPCR, FPMR, 8); Z[d, VL] = result;
