Description

This instruction cannot be used for memory to register moves. 128-bit two-argument form:

Moves two packed single-precision floating-point values from the low quadword of the second XMM argument (second operand) to the high quadword of the first XMM register (first argument). The low quadword of the destination operand is left unchanged. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding destination register are unmodified. 128-bit three-argument forms:

Moves two packed single-precision floating-point values from the low quadword of the third XMM argument (third operand) to the high quadword of the destination (first operand). Copies the low quadword from the second XMM argument (second operand) to the low quadword of the destination (first operand). Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding destination register are zeroed.

If VMOVLHPS is encoded with VEX.L or EVEX.L’L= 1, an attempt to execute the instruction encoded with VEX.L or EVEX.L’L= 1 will cause an #UD exception.

Operation

MOVLHPS (128-bit two-argument form)

DEST[63:0] (Unmodified)
DEST[127:64] ← SRC[63:0]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] (Unmodified)

VMOVLHPS (128-bit three-argument form - VEX & EVEX)

DEST[63:0] ← SRC1[63:0]
DEST[127:64] ← SRC2[63:0]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] ← 0
