BFMLALT (vectors)

BFloat16 floating-point multiply-add long to single-precision (top)

This BFloat16 floating-point multiply-add long instruction widens the odd-numbered 16-bit BFloat16 elements in the first source vector and the corresponding elements in the second source vector to single-precision format and then destructively multiplies and adds these values without intermediate rounding to the overlapping 32-bit single-precision elements of the addend and destination vector. This instruction is unpredicated.

Unlike the BFloat16 matrix multiplication and dot product instructions, this instruction performs a fused multiply-add that honors all of the FPCR bits that apply to single-precision arithmetic. It can also generate a floating-point exception that causes cumulative exception bits in the FPSR to be set, or a synchronous exception to be taken, depending on the enable bits in the FPCR.

ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.

Assembler Symbols

<Zda>

Is the name of the third source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zda" field.

<Zn>

Is the name of the first source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

<Zm>

Is the name of the second source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zm" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); integer elements = VL DIV 32; bits(VL) operand1 = Z[n]; bits(VL) operand2 = Z[m]; bits(VL) operand3 = Z[da]; bits(VL) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 bits(32) element1 = Elem[operand1, 2 * e + 1, 16] : Zeros(16); bits(32) element2 = Elem[operand2, 2 * e + 1, 16] : Zeros(16); bits(32) element3 = Elem[operand3, e, 32]; Elem[result, e, 32] = BFMulAdd(element3, element1, element2, FPCR[]); Z[da] = result;

Operational information

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX instruction must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is unpredictable:
