VCVTSD2SH — Convert Low FP64 Value to an FP16 Value

Opcode/ Instruction Op/ En 64/32 Bit Mode Support CPUID Feature Flag Description
EVEX.LLIG.F2.MAP5.W1 5A /r VCVTSD2SH xmm1{k1}{z}, xmm2, xmm3/m64 {er} A V/V AVX512_FP16 OR AVX10.1 Convert the low FP64 value in xmm3/m64 to an FP16 value and store the result in the low element of xmm1 subject to writemask k1. Bits 127:16 of xmm2 are copied to xmm1[127:16].

Description

This instruction converts the low FP64 value in the second source operand to an FP16 value, and stores the result 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

to the writemask.

Operation

VCVTSD2SH 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_fp64_to_fp16(SRC2.fp64[0])
ELSE IF *zeroing*:
    DEST.fp16[0] ← 0
// else dest.fp16[0] remains unchanged
DEST[127:16] ← SRC1[127:16]
