native on: Decimal8 Decimal16

Half the width of a decimal float value. Current rounding mode.

Can produce the IEEE 754 32bit decimal float interchange format.

This is not a Speculable operation. The reason for this is the impossibility to fit all of the NaR payload into values smaller than 32bit. Nominally this would only require the narrowing of 32bit values to be not speculable, but for simplicity reasons in hardware and compiler this is not so. If narrowing should prove a big bottleneck this can be revisited.


narrowd(d v) → d r0

operands: like Narrowd [dd:½d]


Core In Slots Latencies
Decimal8 E0 E1 d:w=4 q:d=5
Decimal16 E0 E1 d:w=4 q:d=5

narrowd(d v1, d v2) → d r0

operands: like Narrowvd [DD:½D]
