Description

Determine the minimum unsigned word value in the source operand (second operand) and place the unsigned

word in the low word (bits 0-15) of the destination operand (first operand). is stored in bits 16-18 of the destination operand. 128-bit Legacy SSE version: Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged. VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed. VEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, VEX.L must be 0, otherwise the instruction will #UD. The word index of the minimum value The remaining upper bits of the destination are set to zero.
