Description

This instruction performs a SIMD computation of the approximate reciprocals square-root of 8/16/32 packed FP16 floating-point values in the source operand (the second operand) and stores the packed FP16 floating-point results in the destination operand.

The maximum relative error for this approximation is less than 2−11 + 2−14. For special cases, see Table 5-38.

The destination elements are updated according to the writemask.

Operation

VRSQRTPH dest{k1}, src

VL = 128, 256 or 512
KL := VL/16
FOR i := 0 to KL-1:
    IF k1[i] or *no writemask*:
        IF SRC is memory and (EVEX.b = 1):
            tsrc := src.fp16[0]
        ELSE:
            tsrc := src.fp16[i]
        DEST.fp16[i] := APPROXIMATE(1.0 / SQRT(tsrc) )
    ELSE IF *zeroing*:
        DEST.fp16[i] := 0
    //else DEST.fp16[i] remains unchanged
DEST[MAXVL-1:VL] := 0
