CVTSS2SI — Convert Scalar Single-Precision Floating-Point Value to Doubleword Integer

1. Software should ensure VCVTSS2SI is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VCVTSS2SI with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpredictable behavior across different processor generations.

2. VEX.W1/EVEX.W1 in non-64 bit is ignored; the instructions behaves as if the W0 version is used.

Instruction Operand Encoding ¶

Description ¶

Converts a single-precision floating-point value in the source operand (the second operand) to a signed doubleword integer (or signed quadword integer if operand size is 64 bits) in the destination operand (the first operand). The source operand can be an XMM register or a memory location. The destination operand is a general-purpose register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the single-precision floating-point value is contained in the low doubleword of the register.

When a conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register or the embedded rounding control bits. If a converted result cannot be represented in the destination format, the floating-point invalid exception is raised, and if this exception is masked, the indefinite integer value (2^w-1, where w represents the number of bits in the destination format) is returned.

Legacy SSE instructions: In 64-bit mode, Use of the REX.W prefix promotes the instruction to produce 64-bit data. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.

VEX.W1 and EVEX.W1 versions: promotes the instruction to produce 64-bit data in 64-bit mode.

Note: VEX.vvvv and EVEX.vvvv are reserved and must be 1111b, otherwise instructions will #UD.

Operation ¶

VCVTSS2SI (EVEX encoded version) ¶

IF (SRC *is register*) AND (EVEX.b = 1)
    THEN
        SET_RM(EVEX.RC);
    ELSE
        SET_RM(MXCSR.RM);
FI;
IF 64-bit Mode and OperandSize = 64
THEN
    DEST[63:0] ← Convert_Single_Precision_Floating_Point_To_Integer(SRC[31:0]);
ELSE
    DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Single_Precision_Floating_Point_To_Integer(SRC[31:0]);
FI;

(V)CVTSS2SI (Legacy and VEX.128 encoded version) ¶

IF 64-bit Mode and OperandSize = 64
THEN
    DEST[63:0] ←Convert_Single_Precision_Floating_Point_To_Integer(SRC[31:0]);
ELSE
    DEST[31:0] ←Convert_Single_Precision_Floating_Point_To_Integer(SRC[31:0]);
FI;
