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). The word index of the minimum value is stored in bits 16-18 of the destination operand. The remaining upper bits of the destination are set to zero.

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.

Operation

IF (SRC[31:16] < MIN)
    THEN INDEX (cid:197) 1;  MIN (cid:197) SRC[31:16]; FI;
IF (SRC[47:32] < MIN)
    THEN INDEX (cid:197) 2;  MIN (cid:197) SRC[47:32]; FI;
* Repeat operation for words 3 through 6
