BFMAXNM (multiple and single vector)
Multi-vector BFloat16 floating-point maximum number by vector
Determine the maximum number value of BFloat16 elements of the second source vector and the corresponding BFloat16 elements of the two or four first source vectors and destructively place the results in the corresponding elements of the two or four first source vectors.
Regardless of the value of FPCR.AH, the behavior is as follows:
Negative zero compares less than positive zero.
If one element is numeric and the other is a quiet NaN, the result is the numeric value.
When FPCR.DN is 0, if either element is a signaling NaN or if both elements are NaNs, the result is a quiet NaN.
When FPCR.DN is 1, if either element is a signaling NaN or if both elements are NaNs, the result is Default NaN.
This instruction follows SME2 non-widening BFloat16 numerical behaviors corresponding to instructions that place their results in two or four SVE Z vectors.
This instruction is unpredicated.
ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.B16B16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.
