3-630 Vol. 2A MOVHLPS— Move Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values High to Low
INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, A-M
MOVHLPS— Move Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values High
to Low
Description
Moves two packed single-precision floating-point values from the high quadword of
the source operand (second operand) to the low quadword of the destination
operand (first operand). The high quadword of the destination operand is left
unchanged.
In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional
registers (XMM8-XMM15).
Operation
DEST[63:0] ← SRC[127:64];
(* DEST[127:64] unchanged *)

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions
None.
Protected Mode Exceptions
#NM If CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#UD If CR0.EM[bit 2] = 1.
If CR4.OSFXSR[bit 9] = 0.
