+
+==================== Branch work226-float, patch #204 ====================
+
+Add conversions between __bfloat16 and float/double.
+
+This patch provides conversions between __bfloat16 and float/double scalars on
+power10 and power11 systems.
+
+Unlike the support for _Float16, there is not a single instruction to convert
+between a __bfloat16 and float/double scalar value on the power10.
+
+Instead we have to use the vector conversion instructions.
+
+To convert a __bfloat16 scalar to a float/double scalar, GCC will generate:
+
+       lxsihzx     0,0,4       Load value into vector register
+       xxsldwi     0,0,0,1     Get the value into the upper 32-bits
+       xvcvbf16spn 0,0         Convert vector __bfloat16 to vector float
+       xscvspdpn   0,0         Convert memory float format to scalar
+
+To convert a scalar float/double to __bfloat16, GCC will generate:
+
+       xscvdpsp   0,0          Convert float scalar to float memory format
+       xvcvspbf16 0,0          Convert vector float to vector __bfloat16

+_Float16 is the IEEE 754 half precision format.  __bfloat16 is the Google Brain

+option to enable the support.
+
+In this patch only the machine indepndent support is used.  In order to be
+usable, the next patch will also need to be installed. That patch will add
+support in libgcc for 16-bit floating point support.

+
+==================== Branch work226-float, patch #200 ====================
+
+Add infrastructure for _Float16 and __bfloat16 types.
+
+This patch adds the infrastructure for adding 16-bit floating point types in 
the
+next patch.  Two new types that will be added:
+
+_Float16 (HFmode):
+==================
+
+This is the IEEE 754-2008 16-bit floating point.  It has 1 sign bit, 5
+exponent bits, 10 explicit mantassia bits (the 11th bit is implied with
+normalization).
+
+The PowerPC ISA 3.0 (power9) has instructions to convert between the
+scalar representations of _Float16 and float types.  The PowerPC ISA
+3.1 (power10 and power11) has instructions for converting between the
+even elements of _Float16 vectors and float vectors.  In addition, the
+MMA subsystem has support for _Float16 vector processing.
+
+
+__bfloat16 (BFmode):
+====================
+
+This is the brain 16-bit floating point created by the Google Brain
+project.  It has 1 sign bit, 8 exponent bits, 7 explicit mantissa bits
+(the 8th bit is implied with normalization).  The 16 bits in the
+__bfloat16 format is the same as the upper 16 bits in the normal IEEE
+754 32-bit floating point format.
+
+he PowerPC ISA 3.1 (power10 and power11) has instructions for
+converting between the even elements of _bfloat16 vectors and float
+vectors.  In addition, the MMA subsystem has support for _bfloat16
+vector processing.
+
+
+This patch adds new modes that will be used in the future.  The
+V8HFmode and V8BFmodes are treated as normal vector modes.
+
+This patch does not add loads and stores for BFmode and HFmode.  These
+will be added in the next patch.
+
+    BFmode   -- 16-bit mode for __bfloat16 support
+    HFmode   -- 16-bit mode for _Float16 support
+    V8BFmode -- 128-bit vector mode __bfloat16
+    V8HFmode -- 128-bit vector mode _Float16
+    V4BFmode -- 64-bit vector mode __bfloat16 used in some insns
+    V4HFmode -- 64-bit vector mode _Float16 used in some insns
