vcvtph2ps

Convert 16-bit FP to 32-bit FP

VCVTPH2PS xmm1, xmm2/m64

Converts half-precision floats to single-precision.

Details

Converts four 16-bit half-precision floating-point values to four 32-bit single-precision floating-point values. The source contains up to four FP16 values packed in the lower 64 bits; the destination receives four FP32 results in a 128-bit XMM register. No flags are modified; this is a data conversion instruction.

Pseudocode Operation

dest[127:0] ← CONVERT_FP16_TO_FP32(src[63:0]); // upper 64 bits of dest are zeroed

Description

This instruction converts packed half precision (16-bits) floating-point values in the low-order bits of the source operand (the second operand) to packed single precision floating-point values and writes the converted values into the destination operand (the first operand). If case of a denormal operand, the correct normal result is returned. MXCSR.DAZ is ignored and is treated as if it 0. No denormal exception is reported on MXCSR. VEX.128 version: The source operand is a XMM register or 64-bit memory location. The destination operand is a XMM register. The upper bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding destination register are zeroed. VEX.256 version: The source operand is a XMM register or 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is a YMM register. Bits (MAXVL-1:256) of the corresponding destination register are zeroed. VCVTPH2PS/VCVTPH2PSX—Convert Packed FP16 Values to Single Precision Floating-Point Values Vol. 2C 5-54 EVEX encoded versions: The source operand is a YMM/XMM/XMM (low 64-bits) register or a 256/128/64-bit memory location. The destination operand is a ZMM/YMM/XMM register conditionally updated with writemask k1. The diagram below illustrates how data is converted from four packed half precision (in 64 bits) to four single precision (in 128 bits) floating-point values. Note: VEX.vvvv and EVEX.vvvv are reserved (must be 1111b).

VCVTPH2PS (128-bit Version) The VCVTPH2PSX instruction is a new form of the PH to PS conversion instruction, encoded in map 6. The previous version of the instruction, VCVTPH2PS, that is present in AVX512F (encoded in map 2, 0F38) does not support embedded broadcasting. The VCVTPH2PSX instruction has the embedded broadcasting option available. The instructions associated with AVX512_FP16 always handle FP16 denormal number inputs; denormal inputs are not treated as zero.
