Description

This instruction cannot be used for register to register or memory to memory moves.

128-bit Legacy SSE load:

Moves a double-precision floating-point value from the source 64-bit memory operand and stores it in the low 64-bits of the destination XMM register. The upper 64bits of the XMM register are preserved. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding destination register are preserved.

VEX.128 & EVEX encoded load:

Loads a double-precision floating-point value from the source 64-bit memory operand (third operand), merges it with the upper 64-bits of the first source XMM register (second operand), and stores it in the low 128-bits of the destination XMM register (first operand). Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding destination register are zeroed.

128-bit store:

Stores a double-precision floating-point value from the low 64-bits of the XMM register source (second operand) to the 64-bit memory location (first operand).

Note: VMOVLPD (store) (VEX.128.66.0F 13 /r) is legal and has the same behavior as the existing 66 0F 13 store. For VMOVLPD (store) VEX.vvvv and EVEX.vvvv are reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instruction will #UD.

If VMOVLPD 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

MOVLPD (128-bit Legacy SSE load)

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

VMOVLPD (VEX.128 & EVEX encoded load)

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

VMOVLPD (store)

DEST[63:0] ← SRC[63:0]

Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent

MOVLPD __m128d _mm_loadl_pd ( __m128d a, double *p)
MOVLPD void _mm_storel_pd (double *p, __m128d a)
