Description

Performs a SIMD multiply of the two or four packed double-precision floating-point values from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first operand), and stores the packed double-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 11-3 in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1, for an illustration of a SIMD double-precision floating-point operation.

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

128-bit Legacy SSE version: The second source can be an XMM register or an 128-bit memory location. The desti-nation is not distinct from the first source XMM register and the upper bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are unmodified.

VEX.128 encoded version: the first source operand is an XMM register or 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The upper bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register destination are zeroed.

VEX.256 encoded version: The first source operand is a YMM register. The second source operand can be a YMM register or a 256-bit memory location. The destination operand is a YMM register.

Operation

MULPD (128-bit Legacy SSE version)

DEST[63:0] ← DEST[63:0] * SRC[63:0]
DEST[127:64] ← DEST[127:64] * SRC[127:64]
DEST[VLMAX-1:128] (Unmodified)

VMULPD (VEX.128 encoded version)

DEST[63:0] ← SRC1[63:0] * SRC2[63:0]
DEST[127:64] ← SRC1[127:64] * SRC2[127:64]
DEST[VLMAX-1:128] ← 0

VMULPD (VEX.256 encoded version)

DEST[63:0] ← SRC1[63:0] * SRC2[63:0]
DEST[127:64] ← SRC1[127:64] * SRC2[127:64]
DEST[191:128] ← SRC1[191:128] * SRC2[191:128]
DEST[255:192] ← SRC1[255:192] * SRC2[255:192]
