Operand encoding

Each mode is a value of the Op/En column above. It says which field of the encoded instruction carries each operand, in the order they are written, and whether the instruction reads it, writes it or both.

A

  1. modrm.reg lectura y escrituraModRM byte, reg field (bits 5-3)
  2. modrm.rm lecturaModRM byte, r/m field (bits 2-0); with the SIB byte and the displacement when the mod field asks for them

B

  1. modrm.reg escrituraModRM byte, reg field (bits 5-3)
  2. vex.vvvv lecturaVEX prefix, vvvv field (inverted)
  3. modrm.rm lecturaModRM byte, r/m field (bits 2-0); with the SIB byte and the displacement when the mod field asks for them

C

  2. evex.vvvv lecturaEVEX prefix, vvvv field (inverted)
  3. modrm.rm lecturaModRM byte, r/m field (bits 2-0); with the SIB byte and the displacement when the mod field asks for them

Description

Multiplies the low single precision floating-point value from the second source operand by the low single precision floating-point value in the first source operand, and stores the single precision floating-point result in the destination operand. The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The first source operand and the destination operands are XMM registers.

128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source operand and the destination operand are the same. Bits (MAXVL- 1:32) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged.

VEX.128 and EVEX encoded version: The first source operand is an xmm register encoded by VEX.vvvv. The three high-order doublewords of the destination operand are copied from the first source operand. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.

EVEX encoded version: The low doubleword element of the destination operand is updated according to the writemask.

Software should ensure VMULSS is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VMULSS with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpredictable behavior across different processor generations.
