The bottom bit of the opcode is used to indicate whether the AVX512 index register is considered a vector of sixteen signed 32-bit indexes (bit 0 not set) or eight signed 64-bit indexes (bit 0 set) The instructions all support operation masking by opmask registers. The only supported vector width is 512 bits.
Instruction set extensions that have been added to the x86 instruction set in order to support hardware virtualization.These extensions provide instructions for entering and leaving a virtualized execution context and for loading virtual-machine control structures (VMCSs), which hold the state of the guest and host, along with fields which control processor behavior within the virtual machine.
Move a 64-bit data item from MMX register to bottom half of XMM register. Top half is zeroed out. MOVQ2DQ xmm,mm: F3 0F D6 /r: Yes: No: No — — — — Move a 64-bit data item from bottom half of XMM register to MMX register. MOVDQ2Q mm,xmm: F2 0F D6 /r: Yes: No: No — — — — Load a 64-bit integer from memory or XMM register to bottom ...
The FMA instruction set is an extension to the 128 and 256-bit Streaming SIMD Extensions instructions in the x86 microprocessor instruction set to perform fused multiply–add (FMA) operations. [1] There are two variants: FMA4 is supported in AMD processors starting with the Bulldozer architecture. FMA4 was performed in hardware before FMA3 was.
x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) [note 1] is a 64-bit extension of the x86 instruction set architecture first announced in 1999. It introduces two new operating modes: 64-bit mode and compatibility mode, along with a new four-level paging mechanism.
While what these instructions do is similar to bit level gather-scatter SIMD instructions, PDEP and PEXT instructions (like the rest of the BMI instruction sets) operate on general-purpose registers. [12] The instructions are available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. An example using arbitrary source and selector in 32-bit mode is:
x86 virtualization is the use of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities on an x86/x86-64 CPU.. In the late 1990s x86 virtualization was achieved by complex software techniques, necessary to compensate for the processor's lack of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities while attaining reasonable performance.
The registers XMM8 through XMM15 are accessible only in 64-bit operating mode. SSE used only a single data type for XMM registers: four 32-bit single-precision floating-point numbers; SSE2 would later expand the usage of the XMM registers to include: two 64-bit double-precision floating-point numbers or; two 64-bit integers or; four 32-bit ...
