VGETMANTSS — Extract Float32 Vector of Normalized Mantissa from Float32 Vector

Instruction Operand Encoding ¶

Description ¶

Convert the single-precision floating values in the low doubleword element of the second source operand (the third operand) to SP FP value with the mantissa normalization and sign control specified by the imm8 byte, see Figure 5-15. The converted result is written to the low doubleword element of the destination operand (the first operand) using writemask k1. Bits (127:32) of the XMM register destination are copied from corresponding bits in the first source operand. The normalized mantissa is specified by interv (imm8[1:0]) and the sign control (sc) is specified by bits 3:2 of the immediate byte.

The conversion operation is:

GetMant(x) = ±2^k|x.significand|

where:

1 <= |x.significand| < 2

Unbiased exponent k depends on the interval range defined by interv and whether the exponent of the source is even or odd. The sign of the final result is determined by sc and the source sign.

if interv != 0 then k = -1, otherwise K = 0. The encoded value of imm8[1:0] and sign control are shown

in Figure 5-15.

The converted SP FP result is encoded according to the sign control, the unbiased exponent k (adding bias) and a mantissa normalized to the range specified by interv.

The GetMant() function follows Table 5-16 when dealing with floating-point special numbers.

This instruction is writemasked, so only those elements with the corresponding bit set in vector mask register k1 are computed and stored into zmm1. Elements in zmm1 with the corresponding bit clear in k1 retain their previous values.

Operation ¶

// GetNormalizeMantissaSP(SRC[31:0], SignCtrl[1:0], Interv[1:0]) is defined in the operation section of VGETMANTPD

VGETMANTSS (EVEX encoded version) ¶

SignCtrl[1:0] ← IMM8[3:2];
Interv[1:0] ← IMM8[1:0];
IF k1[0] OR *no writemask*
    THEN DEST[31:0]←

    ELSE
        IF *merging-masking* ; merging-masking
            THEN *DEST[31:0] remains unchanged*
            ELSE ; zeroing-masking
                DEST[31:0] ← 0
        FI
FI;
DEST[127:32] ← SRC1[127:64]
