Apparatus and method for converting a floating-point value from half precision to single precision

摘要

An embodiment of the invention is a processor including execution circuitry to, in response to a decoded instruction, convert a half-precision floating-point value to a single-precision floating-point value and store the single-precision floating-point value in each of the plurality of element locations of a destination register. The processor also includes a decoder and the destination register. The decoder is to decode an instruction to generate the decoded instruction.
