(qp) fpcmp.frel.sf f1= f2, f3


Description

The two pairs of single precision source operands in the significand fields of f2 and FR f3 are compared for one of twelve relations specified by frel. This produces a boolean result which is a mask of 32 1's if the comparison condition is true, and a mask of 32 0's otherwise. This result is written to a pair of 32-bit integers in the significand field of FR f1. The exponent field of FR f1 is set to the biased exponent for 2.063 (0x1003E) and the sign field of FR f1 is set to positive (0).

The relations are defined for each of the comparison types. Of the twelve relations, not all are directly implemented in hardware. Some are actually pseudo-ops. For these, the assembler simply switches the source operand specifiers and/or switches the predicate type specifiers and uses an implemented relation.

If either FR f2, or FR f3 is a NaTVal, FR f1 is set to NaTVal instead of the computed result.
