Description
This instruction performs a scalar FP16 square-root computation on the source operand and stores the FP16 result in the destination operand. 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
VSQRTSH dest{k1}, src1, src2
IF k1[0] or *no writemask*:
DEST.fp16[0] := SQRT(src2.fp16[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
