Description

Extracts the biased exponents from the normalized SP FP representation of each dword element of the source operand (the second operand) as unbiased signed integer value, or convert the denormal representation of input data to unbiased negative integer values. Each integer value of the unbiased exponent is converted to single-precision FP value and written to the corresponding dword elements of the destination operand (the first operand) as SP FP numbers.

The destination operand is a ZMM/YMM/XMM register and updated under the writemask. The source operand can be a ZMM/YMM/XMM register, a 512/256/128-bit memory location, or a 512/256/128-bit vector broadcasted from a 32-bit memory location.

EVEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, otherwise instructions will #UD.

Each GETEXP operation converts the exponent value into a FP number (permitting input value in denormal repre- sentation). Special cases of input values are listed in Table 5-15.

The formula is: GETEXP(x) = floor(log2(|x|)) Notation floor(x) stands for maximal integer not exceeding real number x.

Software usage of VGETEXPxx and VGETMANTxx instructions generally involve a combination of GETEXP operation and GETMANT operation (see VGETMANTPD). Thus VGETEXPxx instruction do not require software to handle SIMD FP exceptions.

Table 5-15. VGETEXPPS/SS Special Cases

Input Operand Result Comments
src1 = NaN QNaN(src1) If (SRC = SNaN) then #IE If (SRC = denormal) then #DE
0 < |src1| < INF floor(log2(|src1|))
| src1| = +INF +INF
| src1| = 0 -INF

Figure 5-14 illustrates the VGETEXPPS functionality on input values with normalized representation.
