+<p>Half precision floating point is storage-only format. That is why the values

+
+<h5>Overview:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>llvm.convert.to.fp16</tt>' intrinsic function performs

+   floating point format.</p>
+
+<h5>Arguments:</h5>
+<p>The intrinsic function contains single argument - the value to be

+
+<h5>Semantics:</h5>
+<p>The '<tt>llvm.convert.to.fp16</tt>' intrinsic function performs
+   a conversion from single precision floating point format to half precision
+   floating point format. Since the format is storage only the return value is
+   just an <tt>i16</tt> which contains the converted number.</p>
+
+<h5>Examples:</h5>
+<pre>
+  %res = call i16 @llvm.convert.to.fp16(f32 %a)
+  store i16 %res, i16* @x, align 2
