Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for performing instructions to convert to 16-bit floating-point format. In one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch an instruction having fields to specify an opcode and locations of a first source vector comprising N single-precision elements, and a destination vector comprising at least N 16-bit floating-point elements, the opcode to indicate execution circuitry is to convert each of the elements of the specified source vector to 16-bit floating-point, the conversion to include truncation and rounding, as necessary, and to store each converted element into a corresponding location of the specified destination vector, decode circuitry to decode the fetched instruction, and execution circuitry to respond to the decoded instruction as specified by the opcode.
