Store Sparse Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values

VCOMPRESSPS m512 {k1}, zmm1

Compresses active elements from ZMM to memory.

Details

Stores active (mask-enabled) 32-bit single-precision floating-point elements from a ZMM register to memory in compressed form, where only the elements selected by the opmask k1 are written consecutively to the destination address. No flags are modified. Requires AVX-512F; operates on 512-bit ZMM registers and writes up to 512 bits of memory depending on mask population.

Pseudocode Operation

count ← 0
for i in 0 to 15:
  if k1[i] == 1:
    [dest + count * 4] ← ZMM2[i*32 : (i+1)*32]
    count ← count + 1

Description

Compress (stores) up to 16 single precision floating-point values from the source operand (the second operand) to the destination operand (the first operand). The source operand is a ZMM/YMM/XMM register, the destination operand can be a ZMM/YMM/XMM register or a 512/256/128-bit memory location. The opmask register k1 selects the active elements (a partial vector or possibly non-contiguous if less than 16 active elements) from the source operand to compress into a contiguous vector. The contiguous vector is written to the destination starting from the low element of the destination operand. Memory destination version: Only the contiguous vector is written to the destination memory location. EVEX.z must be zero. Register destination version: If the vector length of the contiguous vector is less than that of the input vector in the source operand, the upper bits of the destination register are unmodified if EVEX.z is not set, otherwise the upper bits are zeroed. EVEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instructions will #UD. Note that the compressed displacement assumes a pre-scaling (N) corresponding to the size of one single element instead of the size of the full vector.
