Description

This instruction moves a FP16 value to a register or memory location.

The two register-only forms are aliases and differ only in where their operands are encoded; this is a side effect of the encodings selected.

Operation

VMOVSH dest, src (two operand load)

IF k1[0] or no writemask:
    DEST.fp16[0] := SRC.fp16[0]
ELSE IF *zeroing*:
    DEST.fp16[0] := 0
// ELSE DEST.fp16[0] remains unchanged
DEST[MAXVL:16] := 0

VMOVSH dest, src (two operand store)

IF k1[0] or no writemask:
    DEST.fp16[0] := SRC.fp16[0]
// ELSE DEST.fp16[0] remains unchanged

VMOVSH dest, src1, src2 (three operand copy)

IF k1[0] or no writemask:
    DEST.fp16[0] := SRC2.fp16[0]
ELSE IF *zeroing*:
    DEST.fp16[0] := 0
// ELSE DEST.fp16[0] remains unchanged
DEST[127:16] := SRC1[127:16]
DEST[MAXVL:128] := 0
