FCVTX

Double-precision down convert to single-precision, rounding to odd (predicated)

Convert active double-precision elements from the source vector to single-precision, rounding to Odd, and place the results in the even-numbered 32-bit elements of the destination vector, while setting the odd-numbered elements to zero. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified or are set to zero, depending on whether merging or zeroing predication is selected.

Rounding to Odd (aka Von Neumann rounding) permits a two-step conversion from double-precision to half-precision without incurring intermediate rounding errors.

Explanations

<Zd>: Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.
<Pg>: Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.
<Zn>: Is the name of the source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

Operational Notes

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

• The MOVPRFX can be predicated or unpredicated.
• A predicated MOVPRFX must use the same governing predicate register as the merging variant this instruction.
• A predicated MOVPRFX must use the larger of the destination element size and first source element size in the preferred disassembly of the merging variant of this instruction.
• The MOVPRFX must specify the same destination register as the merging variant of this instruction.
• The destination register must not refer to architectural register state referenced by any other source operand register of the merging variant of this instruction.
