Conversion of Short Floats

Name:

SFLOT $X,$Z or SFLOT $X,Z
SFLOTU $X,$Z or SFLOTU $X,Z

Specification:
SFLOT: f($X) ← f(T) ← s($Z)
SFLOTU: f($X) ← f(T) ← u($Z)

Timing:

Description:

Converts an integer number to 32-bit IEEE floating point format. The number is first converted to T, a 32-bit intermediate value. This conversion might cause rounding. After this conversion, the number T is extended to a 64-bit floating point number. The Y-operand may contain a rounding mode similar to the FLOT instruction.
