VCVTPH2PS—Convert 16-bit FP values to Single-Precision FP values

Instruction Operand Encoding

Description

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 destina-tion 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 (MAX_VL-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 (MAX_VL-1:256) of the corresponding destination register are zeroed.

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 preci-sion (in 128 bits) FP values.

Note: VEX.vvvv and EVEX.vvvv are reserved (must be 1111b).
