C	Tuple1 Scalar	ModRM:reg (w)	EVEX.vvvv	ModRM:r/m (r)	NA

Description ¶

Adds the low single-precision floating-point values from the second source operand and the first 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 and destination operands are the same. Bits (MAXVL-1:32) of the corresponding the destination register remain unchanged.

EVEX and VEX.128 encoded version: The first source operand is encoded by EVEX.vvvv/VEX.vvvv. Bits (127:32) of the XMM register destination are copied from corresponding bits in the first source operand. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.

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

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

Operation ¶

VADDSS (EVEX encoded versions) ¶

IF (EVEX.b = 1) AND SRC2 *is a register*
    THEN
        SET_RM(EVEX.RC);
    ELSE
        SET_RM(MXCSR.RM);
FI;
IF k1[0] or *no writemask*
    THEN DEST[31:0]←SRC1[31:0] + SRC2[31:0]
    ELSE
        IF *merging-masking* ; merging-masking
            THEN *DEST[31:0] remains unchanged*
            ELSE ; zeroing-masking
                THEN DEST[31:0]←0
        FI;
FI;
DEST[127:32] ← SRC1[127:32]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] ← 0

VADDSS DEST, SRC1, SRC2 (VEX.128 encoded version) ¶

DEST[31:0]←SRC1[31:0] + SRC2[31:0]
DEST[127:32] ←SRC1[127:32]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] ←0

ADDSS DEST, SRC (128-bit Legacy SSE version) ¶

DEST[31:0]←DEST[31:0] + SRC[31:0]
DEST[MAXVL-1:32] (Unmodified)
