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 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

Description

Computes the square root of the low double precision floating-point value in the second source operand and stores the double precision floating-point result in the destination operand. The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The first source and destination operands are XMM registers.

128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source operand and the destination operand are the same. The quadword at bits 127:64 of the destination operand remains unchanged. Bits (MAXVL-1:64) of the corresponding destination register remain unchanged.

VEX.128 and EVEX encoded versions: Bits 127:64 of the destination operand are copied from the corresponding bits of the first source operand. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.

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

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