Abstract:
Embodiments of instructions and methods of execution of said instructions and resources to execute said instructions are detailed. For example, in an embodiment, a processor comprising: decode circuitry to decode an instruction having fields for an opcode, a packed data source operand identifier, and a packed data destination operand identifier; and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction to convert a data element from a least significant packed data element position of the identified packed data source operand from a fixed-point representation to a floating point representation, store the floating point representation into a 32-bit least significant packed data element position of the identified packed data destination operand, and zero all remaining packed data elements of the identified packed data destination operand is described.
