Description

Subtract the low double precision floating-point value in the second source operand from the first source operand and stores the double precision floating-point result in the low quadword of the destination operand.

The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The first source and destination operands are XMM registers.

128-bit Legacy SSE version: The destination and first source operand are the same. Bits (MAXVL-1:64) of the corresponding destination register remain unchanged.

VEX.128 and EVEX encoded versions: Bits (127:64) of the XMM register destination are copied from corresponding bits in the first source operand. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.

EVEX encoded version: The low quadword element of the destination operand is updated according to the write-mask.

Software should ensure VSUBSD is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VSUBSD with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpredictable behavior across different processor generations.

Operation

VSUBSD (EVEX Encoded Version)

IF (SRC2 *is register*) AND (EVEX.b = 1)
    THEN
        SET_ROUNDING_MODE_FOR_THIS_INSTRUCTION(EVEX.RC);
    ELSE
        SET_ROUNDING_MODE_FOR_THIS_INSTRUCTION(MXCSR.RC);
FI;
IF k1[0] or *no writemask*
    THEN DEST[63:0] := SRC1[63:0] - SRC2[63:0]
    ELSE
        IF *merging-masking* ; merging-masking
            THEN *DEST[63:0] remains unchanged*
            ELSE ; zeroing-masking
                THEN DEST[63:0] := 0
        FI;
FI;
DEST[127:64] := SRC1[127:64]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] := 0

VSUBSD (VEX.128 Encoded Version)

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

SUBSD (128-bit Legacy SSE Version)

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