VFMSUBADD132PH computes op1 × op3 ± op2 for each half-precision element
and rounds once: the even elements (0, 2, 4 …) add op2 and the odd
ones subtract it, the alternation the other way from
VFMADDSUB132PH. The destination and the operand
that may come from memory, or be broadcast from one half, are the
factors, and the result goes over op1.
VFMSUBADD231PS explains the family for singles
and its use for a product with a conjugate, and
VFMADD132PH covers the FP16 FMAs and what a merge
mask keeps in each order. The opcode is 97h with the 66 prefix in EVEX
map 6, the byte of VFMSUBADD132PS in map 0F38. Rounding follows
MXCSR.RC, or {er} on the 512-bit register form, and DAZ and FTZ are
ignored (Intel’s optimization manual, Section 18.5.4).
In our builds
At -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4 -mavx512fp16, without -ffast-math, GCC
14 fuses a loop that alternates by hand over global _Float16 arrays,
r[i] = a[i] * b[i] + c[i] then r[i+1] = a[i+1] * b[i+1] - c[i+1],
into VFMSUBADD132PH on zmm registers with b[i] read from memory; Clang
23 fuses it into VFMSUBADD213PH on ymm
registers. For floats Clang does not: VFMSUBADD132PS’s page shows it
negating every other c[i] and using plain FMAs.
_mm512_fmsubadd_ph(a, b, c) on three registers is VFMSUBADD132PH in
GCC and VFMSUBADD213PH in Clang; with all three loaded from arrays, GCC
keeps the 132 order and reads the second in place, while Clang reads the
third.
AMD’s Zen 5 guide does not list AVX512-FP16, and this site’s recorded cases include none of VFMSUBADD132PH.

Data flow
Where the elements of the sources go, element 0 on the right; results that depend on a control value are drawn for an example. How to read.
Every half works alike: 8, 16 and 32 halves in the xmm, ymm and zmm forms. The forms write under a mask: where its bit is 0, the element keeps its old value, or zeroes it with {z}. With m16bcst, one half from memory stands for every element of the last source. The sources are drawn above the result, each element in its own column.
Result half i comes from half i of xmm1, xmm2 and xmm3. Result halves 7 to 0: r7, unchanged (bit 6 of k1 is 0), r5, r4, r3, r2, r1, r0.
Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
for i in range(VL // 16):
if k1[i]:
a = zmm1.f16[i]
b = zmm2.f16[i]
c = src3.f16[i]
if i % 2 == 0:
zmm1.f16[i] = fmadd(a, c, b)
else:
zmm1.f16[i] = fmsub(a, c, b)
elif zeroing:
zmm1.f16[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.f16[i] keeps its value
# m16bcst: src3.f16[i] is the m16 for every i
# {er}: the form's rounding, not MXCSR.RC, and no flags
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL upNot run on a processor: none of these processors has AVX512-FP16. The tests check its arithmetic against MPFR.
