Description

Divides the low single-precision floating-point value in the first source operand by the low single-precision floating-point value in the second source operand, and stores the single-precision floating-point result in the destination operand. The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location.

128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source operand and the destination operand are the same. Bits (MAX_VL-1:32) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged.

VEX.128 encoded version: The first source operand is an xmm register encoded by VEX.vvvv. The three high-order doublewords of the destination operand are copied from the first source operand. Bits (MAX_VL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.

EVEX.128 encoded version: The first source operand is an xmm register encoded by EVEX.vvvv. The doubleword elements of the destination operand at bits 127:32 are copied from the first source operand. Bits (MAX_VL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.

EVEX version: The low doubleword element of the destination is updated according to the writemask.

Software should ensure VDIVSS is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VDIVSS with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpre-dictable behavior across different processor generations.

Operation

VDIVSS (EVEX encoded version)

IF (EVEX.b = 1) AND SRC2 *is a register*
    THEN
         SET_RM(EVEX.RC);
    ELSE
         SET_RM(MXCSR.RM);
FI;
IF k1[0] or *no writemask*
    THEN
              DEST[31:0] (cid:197) SRC1[31:0] / SRC2[31:0]
    ELSE
         IF *merging-masking*
                                                    ; merging-masking
              THEN *DEST[31:0] remains unchanged*
              ELSE
                                                    ; zeroing-masking
