MULPS—Multiply Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values

Description

Performs a SIMD multiply of the four packed single-precision floating-point values
from the source operand (second operand) and the destination operand (first
operand), and stores the packed single-precision floating-point results in the desti-
nation operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory
location. The destination operand is an XMM register. See Figure 10-5 in the Intel®
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1, for an illustra-
tion of a SIMD single-precision floating-point operation.
In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional
registers (XMM8-XMM15).
