CVTSS2SD—Convert Scalar Single-Precision FP Value to Scalar Double-Precision FP Value

Instruction Operand Encoding

Description

Converts a single-precision floating-point value in the source operand (second operand) to a double-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand). The source operand can be an XMM register or a 32bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the single-precision floating-point value is contained in the low doubleword of the register. The result is stored in the low quadword of the destination operand, and the high quadword is left unchanged.

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-1:64) 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

CVTSS2SD (128-bit Legacy SSE version)
DEST[63:0] ← Convert_Single_Precision_To_Double_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[31:0]);
DEST[VLMAX-1:64] (Unmodified)
VCVTSS2SD (VEX.128 encoded version)
DEST[63:0] ← Convert_Single_Precision_To_Double_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC2[31:0])
DEST[127:64] ← SRC1[127:64]
DEST[VLMAX-1:128] ← 0
