ADDSS—Add Scalar Single-Precision Floating-Point Values

Opcode/Instruction Op/En 64/32-bit Mode CPUID Feature Flag Description
F3 0F 58 /r ADDSS xmm1, xmm2/m32 RM V/V SSE Add the low single-precision floating-point value from xmm2/m32 to xmm1.
VEX.NDS.LIG.F3.0F.WIG 58 /r VADDSS xmm1,xmm2, xmm3/m32 RVM V/V AVX Add the low single-precision floating-point value from xmm3/mem to xmm2 and store the result in xmm1.

Description

Adds the low single-precision floating-point values from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first operand), and stores the single-precision floating-point result in the destination operand.

The source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. See Chapter 10 in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1, for an overview of a scalar single-precision floating-point operation.

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: Bits (VLMAX-1:32) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged. VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (127:32) of the XMM register destination are copied from corresponding bits in the first source operand. Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed.

Operation

ADDSS DEST, SRC (128-bit Legacy SSE version)
DEST[31:0] ← DEST[31:0] + SRC[31:0];
DEST[VLMAX-1:32] (Unmodified)
VADDSS DEST, SRC1, SRC2 (VEX.128 encoded version)
DEST[31:0] ← SRC1[31:0] + SRC2[31:0]
DEST[127:32] ← SRC1[127:32]
DEST[VLMAX-1:128] ← 0
