BF1CVT, BF2CVT
8-bit floating-point convert to BFloat16
Convert each even-numbered 8-bit floating-point element of the source vector to BFloat16 while downscaling the value, and place the results in the overlapping 16-bit elements of the destination vector. BF1CVT scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE[5:0]). BF2CVT scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE2[5:0]).
The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for BF1CVT is selected by FPMR.F8S1. The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for BF2CVT is selected by FPMR.F8S2.
This instruction is unpredicated.
