MULPS--Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Multiply

Opcode

Instruction

Description

0F 59 /r

MULPS xmm1, xmm2/m128

Multiply packed single-precision floating-point values in xmm2/mem by xmm1.

Description

Performs a SIMD multiply of the four packed single-precision floating-point values from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first operand), and stores the packed single-precision floating-point results in the destination operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. See Figure 10-5 in the IA-32 Intel(R) Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 1 for an illustration of a SIMD single-precision floating-point operation.

Operation

DEST[31-0] DEST[31-0] * SRC[31-0];
DEST[63-32] DEST[63-32] * SRC[63-32];
DEST[95-64] DEST[95-64] * SRC[95-64];
DEST[127-96] DEST[127-96] * SRC[127-96];

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions

Overflow, Underflow, Invalid, Precision, Denormal.

Protected Mode Exceptions

#GP(0) - For an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS or GS segments If memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, regardless of segment .

#SS(0) - For an illegal address in the SS segment.

#PF(fault-code) - For a page fault.

#NM - If TS in CR0 is set.

#XM - If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 1.

#UD If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 0. If EM in CR0 is set. If OSFXSR in CR4 is 0. If CPUID feature flag SSE is 0.

Real-Address Mode Exceptions

#GP(0) - If memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, regardless of segment.

Interrupt 13 - If any part of the operand lies outside the effective address space from 0 to 0FFFFH.

#NM - If TS in CR0 is set.

#XM - If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 1.

#UD - If an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception and OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 is 0. If EM in CR0 is set. If OSFXSR in CR4 is 0. If CPUID feature flag SSE is 0.

Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions

Same exceptions as in Real Address Mode.

#PF(fault-code) - For a page fault.
