Horizontal Subtract Packed Single-Precision

HSUBPS xmm1, xmm2/m128

Subtracts adjacent single-precision elements horizontally.

Details

Horizontally subtracts adjacent pairs of single-precision floating-point elements: the first destination element is the difference of the two low single elements, and the second destination element is the difference of the two high single elements. The source operand may be an XMM register or 128-bit memory. No flags are modified.

Pseudocode Operation

dest[31:0] ← dest[31:0] - dest[63:32];
dest[63:32] ← dest[95:64] - dest[127:96];
dest[95:64] ← src[31:0] - src[63:32];
dest[127:96] ← src[95:64] - src[127:96];

Description

Subtracts the single precision floating-point value in the second dword of the destination operand from the first dword of the destination operand and stores the result in the first dword of the destination operand. Subtracts the single precision floating-point value in the fourth dword of the destination operand from the third dword of the destination operand and stores the result in the second dword of the destination operand. Subtracts the single precision floating-point value in the second dword of the source operand from the first dword of the source operand and stores the result in the third dword of the destination operand. Subtracts the single precision floating-point value in the fourth dword of the source operand from the third dword of the source operand and stores the result in the fourth dword of the destination operand. In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15). See Figure 3-18 for HSUBPS; see Figure 3-19 for VHSUBPS.

VHSUBPS Operation 128-bit Legacy SSE version: The second source can be an XMM register or an 128-bit memory location. The destination is not distinct from the first source XMM register and the upper bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are unmodified. VEX.128 encoded version: the first source operand is an XMM register or 128-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The upper bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are zeroed. VEX.256 encoded version: The first source operand is a YMM register. The second source operand can be a YMM register or a 256-bit memory location. The destination operand is a YMM register.

Exceptions
When the source operand is a memory operand, the operand must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary or a general-
