EVEX.LLIG.NP.0F3A.W0 27 /r /ib VGETMANTSH xmm1{k1}{z}, xmm2, xmm3/m16 {sae}, imm8	A	V/V	AVX512_FP16 OR AVX10.1	Extract the normalized mantissa of the low FP16 element in xmm3/m16 using imm8 for sign control and mantissa interval normalization. Store the mantissa to xmm1 subject to writemask k1 and merge with the other elements of xmm2. Bits 127:16 of xmm2 are copied to xmm1[127:16].

Description

This instruction converts the FP16 value in the low element of the second source operand to FP16 values with the mantissa normalization and sign control specified by the imm8 byte, see Table 5-17. The converted result is written to the low element of the destination operand using writemask k1. The normalized mantissa is specified by interv (imm8[1:0]) and the sign control (SC) is specified by bits 3:2 of the immediate byte.

Bits 127:16 of the destination operand are copied from the corresponding bits of the first source operand. Bits

to the writemask.

For each input FP16 value x, The conversion operation is:

k GetMant(x) = ±2 |x.significand| where: 1 ≤ |x.significand| < 2

Unbiased exponent k depends on the interval range defined by interv and whether the exponent of the source is even or odd. The sign of the final result is determined by the sign control and the source sign and the leading frac-tion bit.

The encoded value of imm8[1:0] and sign control are shown in Table 5-17.

Each converted FP16 result is encoded according to the sign control, the unbiased exponent k (adding bias) and a mantissa normalized to the range specified by interv.

The GetMant() function follows Table 5-18 when dealing with floating-point special numbers.

ELSE IF *zeroing*:
    dest.fp16[0] ← 0
//else dest.fp16[0] remains unchanged
