RSQRTSS: Scalar Single-FP Square Root Reciprocal
Opcode
F3,0F,52,/r RSQRTSS xmm1, xmm2/m32
Operation: xmm1[31-0]
xmm1[63-32]
xmm1[95-64]
xmm1[127-96] = xmm1[127-96];
RSQRTSS returns an approximation of the reciprocal of the square root of the lowest SP
Description:
FP number from xmm2/m32; the upper 3 fields are passed through from xmm1. The
relative error for this approximation is Error, which satisfies:
|Error| <= 1.5x2
None.
Numeric Exceptions:
Protected Mode Exceptions:
#GP(0) for an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS or GS
segments; #SS(0) for an illegal address in the SS segment; #PF (fault-code) for a page
fault; #UD if CR0.EM = 1; #NM if TS bit in CR0 is set; #AC for unaligned memory
reference. To enable #AC exceptions, three conditions must be true(CR0.AM is set;
EFLAGS.AC is set; current CPL is 3).
Real Address Mode Exceptions:
Interrupt 13 if any part of the operand would lie outside of the effective address space
from 0 to 0FFFFH; #UD if CR0.EM = 1; #NM if TS bit in CR0 is set.
Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions:
Same exceptions as in Real Address Mode; #AC for unaligned memory reference if the
current privilege level is 3; #PF (fault-code) for a page fault.
Additional Itanium System Environment Exceptions
Itanium Reg Faults
Itanium Mem Faults VHPT Data Fault, Data TLB Fault, Alternate Data TLB Fault, Data
Comments:
RSQRTSS is not affected by the rounding control in MXCSR. Denormal inputs are
Example:
treated as zeros (of the same sign).
