66 0F 38 41 /r PHMINPOSUW xmm1, xmm2/m128	RM	V/V	SSE4_1	Find the minimum unsigned word in xmm2/m128 and place its value in the low word of xmm1 and its index in the second-lowest word of xmm1.
VEX.128.66.0F38.WIG 41 /r VPHMINPOSUW xmm1, xmm2/m128	RM	V/V	AVX	Find the minimum unsigned word in xmm2/m128 and place its value in the low word of xmm1 and its index in the second-lowest word of xmm1.

Description ¶

Determine the minimum unsigned word value in the source operand (second operand) and place the unsigned word in the low word (bits 0-15) of the destination operand (first operand). The word index of the minimum value is stored in bits 16-18 of the destination operand. The remaining upper bits of the destination are set to zero.

128-bit Legacy SSE version: Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding XMM destination register remain unchanged.

VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination XMM register are zeroed. VEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, VEX.L must be 0, otherwise the instruction will #UD.

Operation ¶

PHMINPOSUW (128-bit Legacy SSE version) ¶

INDEX ← 0;
MIN ← SRC[15:0]
IF (SRC[31:16] < MIN)
    THEN INDEX←1; MIN←SRC[31:16]; FI;
IF (SRC[47:32] < MIN)
    THEN INDEX←2; MIN←SRC[47:32]; FI;
* Repeat operation for words 3 through 6
IF (SRC[127:112] < MIN)
    THEN INDEX←7; MIN←SRC[127:112]; FI;
DEST[15:0] ← MIN;
DEST[18:16] ← INDEX;
DEST[127:19] ← 0000000000000000000000000000H;

VPHMINPOSUW (VEX.128 encoded version) ¶

INDEX ← 0
MIN ← SRC[15:0]
IF (SRC[31:16] < MIN) THEN INDEX←1; MIN←SRC[31:16]
IF (SRC[47:32] < MIN) THEN INDEX←2; MIN←SRC[47:32]
* Repeat operation for words 3 through 6
IF (SRC[127:112] < MIN) THEN INDEX←7; MIN←SRC[127:112]
DEST[15:0] ← MIN
DEST[18:16] ← INDEX
DEST[127:19] ← 0000000000000000000000000000H
