| <h2>Description</h2> |
| <p>Computes the square root of the low single-precision floating-point value in the source operand (second operand) and stores the single-precision floating-point result in the destination operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The three high-order double-words of the destination operand remain unchanged. See Figure 10-6 in the <em>Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1</em>, for an illustration of a scalar 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 first source operand and the destination operand are the same. Bits (VLMAX-1:32) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged.</p> |
| <p>VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed.</p> |
| <h2>Operation</h2> |
| <p><strong>SQRTSS (128-bit Legacy SSE version)</strong></p> |
| <pre>DEST[31:0] ← SQRT(SRC2[31:0]) |
| DEST[VLMAX-1:32] (Unmodified)</pre> |
| <p><strong>VSQRTSS (VEX.128 encoded version)</strong></p> |
| <pre>DEST[31:0] ← SQRT(SRC2[31:0]) |
| DEST[127:32] ← SRC1[127:32] |
| DEST[VLMAX-1:128] ← 0</pre> |
