Description
This instruction converts the low FP32 value in the second source operand to a FP16 value in the low element of the destination operand.
When the conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register.
Bits 127:16 of the destination operand are copied from the corresponding bits of the first source operand. Bits MAXVL-1:128 of the destination operand are zeroed. The low FP16 element of the destination is updated according to the writemask.
Operation
VCVTSS2SH dest, src1, src2
IF *SRC2 is a register* and (EVEX.b = 1):
SET_RM(EVEX.RC)
ELSE:
SET_RM(MXCSR.RC)
IF k1[0] OR *no writemask*:
DEST.fp16[0] := Convert_fp32_to_fp16(SRC2.fp32[0])
ELSE IF *zeroing*:
DEST.fp16[0] := 0
// else dest.fp16[0] remains unchanged
DEST[127:16] := SRC1[127:16]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] := 0
