AHP, [26]
Alternative half-precision control bit. The possible values are:
0
IEEE half-precision format selected. This is the reset value.
1
Alternative half-precision format selected.
DN, [25]
Default NaN mode control bit. The possible values are:
0
NaN operands propagate through to the output of a floating-point operation. This is the
reset value.
1
Any operation involving one or more NaNs returns the Default NaN.
FZ, [24]
Flush-to-zero mode control bit. The possible values are:
0
Flush-to-zero mode disabled. Behavior of the floating-point system is fully compliant
with the IEEE 754 standard. This is the reset value.
1
Flush-to-zero mode enabled.
RMode, [23:22]
Rounding Mode control field. The encoding of this field is:
0b00
Round to Nearest
(RN) mode. This is the reset value.
0b01
Round towards Plus Infinity
(RP) mode.
0b10
Round towards Minus Infinity
(RM) mode.
0b11
Round towards Zero
(RZ) mode.
