Description

Converts a double-precision floating-point value in the source operand (second operand) to a single-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand).

The source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the double-precision floating-point value is contained in the low quadword of the register. The result is stored in the low doubleword of the destination operand, and the upper 3 doublewords are left unchanged. When the conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register.

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 destination and first source operand are the same. Bits (VLMAX-1:32) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged. VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (127:64) 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

CVTSD2SS (128-bit Legacy SSE version)
DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Double_Precision_To_Single_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[63:0]);
(* DEST[VLMAX-1:32] Unmodified *)
VCVTSD2SS (VEX.128 encoded version)
DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Double_Precision_To_Single_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC2[63:0]);
DEST[127:32] ← SRC1[127:32]
DEST[VLMAX-1:128] ← 0
