<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Performs a SIMD computation of the square roots of the four packed single-precision floating-point values in the source operand (second operand) stores the packed single-precision floating-point results in the destination 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 <em>Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1</em>, for an illustration of a SIMD single-precision floating-point operation.</p>
<p>In 64-bit mode, using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15).</p>
<p>128-bit Legacy SSE version: The second source can be an XMM register or 128-bit memory location. The destina-tion is not distinct from the first source XMM register and the upper bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are unmodified.</p>
<p>VEX.128 encoded version: the source operand second source operand or a 128-bit memory location. The destina-tion operand is an XMM register. The upper bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are zeroed.</p>
<p>VEX.256 encoded version: The source operand is a YMM register or a 256-bit memory location. The destination operand is a YMM register.</p>
<p>Note: In VEX-encoded versions, VEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instructions will #UD.</p>
