BFloat16 fused multiply-subtract by indexed element
This instruction multiplies all BFloat16 elements within each 128-bit segment of the first source vector by the specified element in the corresponding second source vector segment. The products are then destructively subtracted without intermediate rounding from the corresponding elements of the addend and destination vector.
The elements within the second source vector are specified using an immediate index that selects the same element position within each 128-bit vector segment. The index range is from 0 to 7.
This instruction follows SVE2 non-widening BFloat16 numerical behaviors.
This instruction is unpredicated.
ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.B16B16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.
