__lsx_vfcvt_h_s

LSX intrinsic · group: Floating Point Conversion

Synopsis

__m128i __lsx_vfcvt_h_s (__m128 a, __m128 b)
#include <lsxintrin.h>
Instruction: vfcvt.h.s vr, vr, vr
CPU Flags: LSX

Description

For each 128-bit lane, convert single-precision floating point elements in the corresponding lane of a into the upper half and elements in b into the lower half, as half-precision floating point numbers.

Operation

int i;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
  dst.fp16[i] = b.fp32[i];
}
for (; i < 8; i++) {
  dst.fp16[i] = a.fp32[i - 4];
}

// Expands to:

if (0) {
  dst.fp16[0] = b.fp32[0];
  dst.fp16[1] = b.fp32[1];
  dst.fp16[2] = b.fp32[2];
  dst.fp16[3] = b.fp32[3];
  dst.fp16[4] = a.fp32[0];
  dst.fp16[5] = a.fp32[1];
  dst.fp16[6] = a.fp32[2];
  dst.fp16[7] = a.fp32[3];
}
