MINPD—Return Minimum Packed Double-Precision Floating-Point Values
INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, A-M
MINPD—Return Minimum Packed Double-Precision Floating-Point
Values
Description
Performs a SIMD compare of the packed double-precision floating-point values in the
destination operand (first operand) and the source operand (second operand), and
returns the minimum value for each pair of values to the destination operand. The
source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. The destina-
tion operand is an XMM register.
If the values being compared are both 0.0s (of either sign), the value in the second
operand (source operand) is returned. If a value in the second operand is an SNaN,
that SNaN is returned unchanged to the destination (that is, a QNaN version of the
SNaN is not returned).
If only one value is a NaN (SNaN or QNaN) for this instruction, the second operand
(source operand), either a NaN or a valid floating-point value, is written to the result.
If instead of this behavior, it is required that the NaN source operand (from either the
first or second operand) be returned, the action of MINPD can be emulated using a
sequence of instructions, such as, a comparison followed by AND, ANDN and OR.
In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional
registers (XMM8-XMM15).
