Description

This instruction performs a floating-point scale of the packed FP16 values in the first source operand by multiplying it by 2 to the power of the FP16 values in second source operand. The destination elements are updated according to the writemask.

The equation of this operation is given by:

zmm1 := zmm2 * 2floor(zmm3).

Floor(zmm3) means maximum integer value ≤ zmm3.

If the result cannot be represented in FP16, then the proper overflow response (for positive scaling operand), or the proper underflow response (for negative scaling operand), is issued. The overflow and underflow responses are dependent on the rounding mode (for IEEE-compliant rounding), as well as on other settings in MXCSR (exception mask bits), and on the SAE bit.

Handling of special-case input values are listed in Table 5-41 and Table 5-42.

Src1	Src2				Set IE
±NaN	+INF	−INF	0/Denorm/Norm
±QNaN	QNaN(Src1)	+INF	+0	QNaN(Src1)	IF either source is SNaN
±SNaN	QNaN(Src1)	QNaN(Src1)	QNaN(Src1)	QNaN(Src1)	YES
±INF	QNaN(Src2)	Src1	QNaN_Indefinite	Src1	IF Src2 is SNaN or −INF
±0	QNaN(Src2)	QNaN_Indefinite	Src1	Src1	IF Src2 is SNaN or +INF
Denorm/Norm	QNaN(Src2)	±INF (Src1 sign)	±0 (Src1 sign)	Compute Result	IF Src2 is SNaN

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions

Invalid, Underflow, Overflow, Precision, Denormal.

Other Exceptions

EVEX-encoded instruction, see Table 2-46, “Type E2 Class Exception Conditions”.

Denormal-operand exception (#D) is checked and signaled for src1 operand, but not for src2 operand. The denormal-operand exception is checked for src1 operand only if the src2 operand is not NaN. If the src2 operand is NaN, the processor generates NaN and does not signal denormal-operand exception, even if src1 operand is denormal.

This UNOFFICIAL, mechanically-separated, non-verified reference is provided for convenience, but it may be incomplete or broken in various obvious or non-obvious ways. Refer to Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual for anything serious.
