FAMAX

Floating-point absolute maximum

This instruction determines the maximum absolute value from floating-point elements of the first source vector and the corresponding floating-point elements of the second source vector, and places the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector.

Regardless of the value of FPCR.AH, the behavior is as follows:

  • When FPCR.DN is 0, if either element is a NaN, the result is a quiet NaN.
  • When FPCR.DN is 1, if either element is a NaN, the result is the Default NaN, with the sign bit set to 0.
  • Denormalized inputs and results are never flushed to zero, as if FPCR.{FZ, FZ16, FIZ} are all 0.
  • Denormalized inputs never generate an Input Denormal floating-point exception.
  • Encoding: Half-precision
