VRT i:i+31 ( (VRA) i:i+31 > fp (VRB) i:i+31 )
? (VRA) i:i+31 : (VRB) i:i+31
For each vector element i from 0 to 3, do the following.
Single-precision floating-point element i in VRA is
compared to single-precision floating-point element
i in VRB. The larger of the two values is
placed into word element i of VRT.
The maximum of +0 and -0 is +0. The maximum of any
value and a NaN is a QNaN.

? (VRA) i:i+31 : (VRB) i:i+31
For each vector element i from 0 to 3, do the following.
Single-precision floating-point element i in VRA is
compared to single-precision floating-point element
i in VRB. The smaller of the two values is
placed into word element i of VRT.
The minimum of +0 and -0 is -0. The minimum of any
value and a NaN is a QNaN.
