Description

This instruction cannot be used for register to register or memory to memory moves.

128-bit Legacy SSE load:

Moves two packed single precision floating-point values from the source 64-bit memory operand and stores them in the high 64-bits of the destination XMM register. The lower 64bits of the XMM register are preserved. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding destination register are preserved.

VEX.128 & EVEX encoded load:

Loads two single precision floating-point values from the source 64-bit memory operand (the third operand) and stores it in the upper 64-bits of the destination XMM register (first operand). The low 64-bits from the first source operand (the second operand) are copied to the lower 64-bits of the destination. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corre- sponding destination register are zeroed.

128-bit store:

Stores two packed single precision floating-point values from the high 64-bits of the XMM register source (second operand) to the 64-bit memory location (first operand).

Note: VMOVHPS (store) (VEX.128.0F 17 /r) is legal and has the same behavior as the existing 0F 17 store. For VMOVHPS (store) VEX.vvvv and EVEX.vvvv are reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instruction will #UD.

If VMOVHPS is encoded with VEX.L or EVEX.L'L= 1, an attempt to execute the instruction encoded with VEX.L or EVEX.L'L= 1 will cause an #UD exception.

Operation

MOVHPS (128-bit Legacy SSE Load) 

DEST[63:0] (Unmodified)
DEST[127:64] := SRC[63:0]
DEST[MAXVL-1:128] (Unmodified)

VMOVHPS (VEX.128 and EVEX Encoded Load) 

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

VMOVHPS (Store) 

DEST[63:0] := SRC[127:64]
