Description

Performs an interleaved unpack of the high double-precision floating-point values from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first operand). See Figure 4-23.

Figure 4-23. UNPCKHPD Instruction High Unpack and Interleave Operation

When unpacking from a memory operand, an implementation may fetch only the appropriate 64 bits; however, alignment to 16-byte boundary and normal segment checking will still be enforced.

In 64-bit mode, using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R 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 corresponding YMM register destination are zeroed.

Operation

UNPCKHPD (128-bit Legacy SSE version)

DEST[63:0] ← SRC1[127:64]
DEST[127:64] ← SRC2[127:64]
DEST[VLMAX-1:128] (Unmodified)

VUNPCKHPD (VEX.128 encoded version)

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

VUNPCKHPD (VEX.256 encoded version)

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