Description

Compares the double-precision floating-point values in the low quadwords of operand 1 (first operand) and operand 2 (second operand), and sets the ZF, PF, and CF flags in the EFLAGS register according to the result (unor-dered, greater than, less than, or equal). The OF, SF and AF flags in the EFLAGS register are set to 0. The unor-dered result is returned if either source operand is a NaN (QNaN or SNaN).The sign of zero is ignored for comparisons, so that –0.0 is equal to +0.0.

Operand 1 is an XMM register; operand 2 can be an XMM register or a 64 bit memory location.

The COMISD instruction differs from the UCOMISD instruction in that it signals a SIMD floating-point invalid oper-ation exception (#I) when a source operand is either a QNaN or SNaN. The UCOMISD instruction signals an invalid numeric exception only if a source operand is an SNaN.

The EFLAGS register is not updated if an unmasked SIMD floating-point exception is generated.

In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15).

Note: In VEX-encoded versions, VEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, otherwise instructions will #UD.

Operation

RESULT ← OrderedCompare(DEST[63:0] ≠ SRC[63:0]) {
(* Set EFLAGS *) CASE (RESULT) OF
    UNORDERED:
                              ZF,PF,CF ← 111;
    GREATER_THAN:
                              ZF,PF,CF ← 000;
    LESS_THAN:
                              ZF,PF,CF ← 001;
    EQUAL:
                              ZF,PF,CF ← 100;
ESAC;
OF, AF, SF ← 0; }
