Description

Converts a signed doubleword integer (or signed quadword integer if operand size is 64 bits) in the source operand (second operand) to a single-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand). The source operand can be a general-purpose register or a memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The result is stored in the low doubleword of the destination operand, and the upper three doublewords are left unchanged. When a conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register.

Legacy SSE instructions: In 64-bit mode, the instruction can access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15, R8-R15) when used with a REX.R prefix. Use of the REX.W prefix promotes the instruction to 64-bit operands. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.

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 (127:32) 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

CVTSI2SS (128-bit Legacy SSE version)
IF 64-Bit Mode And OperandSize = 64
THEN
  DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Integer_To_Single_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[63:0]);
ELSE
  DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Integer_To_Single_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[31:0]);
FI;
DEST[VLMAX-1:32] (Unmodified)
VCVTSI2SS (VEX.128 encoded version)
IF 64-Bit Mode And OperandSize = 64
THEN
  DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Integer_To_Single_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[63:0]);
ELSE
  DEST[31:0] ← Convert_Integer_To_Single_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[31:0]);
FI;
DEST[127:32] ← SRC1[127:32]
