ADDPS (parallel) and ADDSS (scalar) add the pair of operands. SUBPS (parallel) and SUBSS (scalar) subtract the pair of operands. MULPS (parallel) and MULSS (scalar) multiply the pair of operands.DIVPS (parallel) and DIVSS (scalar) divides the pair of operands. SQRTPS (parallel) and SQRTSS (scalar) return the square root of the…

I?’m quite sure that Intel would not like to see SSE2 named 128-bit MMX. In fact, MMX has a bad reputation: the Intel marketing hype pushed it as an universal solution to multimedia requirements, but at the same time the gaming industry switched from mostly 2D games to Virtual Reality-like…

The logical shift left, logical shift right and arithmetic shift right instructions shift each element by a specified number of bits. The logical left and right shifts also enable a 64-bit quantity (quadword) to be shifted as one block, assisting in data type conversions and alignment operations. PSLLW mm,…

PAND mm, mm/m64 PANDN mm, mm/m64 POR mm, mm/m64 PXOR mm, mm/m64 The PAND (Bitwise Logical And), PANDN (Bitwise Logical And Not), POR (Bitwise Logical OR), and PXOR (Bitwise Logical Exclusive OR) instructions perform bitwise logical operations on 64-bit quantities. The destination operand is an MMX register, while the source…

This section describes example uses of the MMX instruction set to implement basic coding structures. Conditional Select Operating on multiple data operands using a single instruction presents an interesting issue: what happens when a computation is only done if the operand value passes some conditional check? For example, in an…

The EMMS instruction empties the MMX state. This instruction must be used to clear the MMX state (i.e. empty the floating-point tag word) at the end of an MMX routine before calling other routines that can execute floating-point instructions. If a floating-point instruction loads into one of the registers before…

When stored in memory the bytes, words, and doublewords in the packed data types are stored in consecutive addresses, with the least significant byte, word, or doubleword being stored in the lowest address and the more significant bytes, words, or doubleword being stored at consecutively higher addresses. The ordering of…
