Accumulate CRC32 Value

CRC32 r32, r/m

Accumulates CRC32C value using polynomial 0x11EDC6F41.

Details

Accumulates a CRC32C checksum using the Castagnoli polynomial (0x11EDC6F41) into the destination register. The source operand size (8/16/32/64-bit) determines the operation width; destination is zero-extended to full register width. No EFLAGS are modified. Requires SSE4.2.

Pseudocode Operation

if Src is 8-bit:
  Dest[0..31] ← CRC32C(Dest[0..31], [Src])
  Dest[32..63] ← 0 (if 64-bit destination)
else if Src is 16-bit:
  Dest[0..31] ← CRC32C(Dest[0..31], [Src])
  Dest[32..63] ← 0 (if 64-bit destination)
else if Src is 32-bit:
  Dest[0..31] ← CRC32C(Dest[0..31], [Src])
  Dest[32..63] ← 0 (if 64-bit destination)
else if Src is 64-bit:
  Dest ← CRC32C(Dest, [Src])

Description

Starting with an initial value in the first operand (destination operand), accumulates a CRC32 (polynomial 11EDC6F41H) value for the second operand (source operand) and stores the result in the destination operand. The source operand can be a register or a memory location. The destination operand must be an r32 or r64 register. If the destination is an r64 register, then the 32-bit result is stored in the least significant double word and 00000000H is stored in the most significant double word of the r64 register. The initial value supplied in the destination operand is a double word integer stored in the r32 register or the least significant double word of the r64 register. To incrementally accumulate a CRC32 value, software retains the result of the previous CRC32 operation in the destination operand, then executes the CRC32 instruction again with new input data in the source operand. Data contained in the source operand is processed in reflected bit order. This means that the most significant bit of the source operand is treated as the least significant bit of the quotient, and so on, for all the bits of the source operand. Likewise, the result of the CRC operation is stored in the destination operand in reflected bit order. This means that the most significant bit of the resulting CRC (bit 31) is stored in the least significant bit of the destination operand (bit 0), and so on, for all the bits of the CRC.
