x86 SIMD instruction listings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The x86 instruction set has several times been extended with SIMD (Single instruction, multiple data) instruction set extensions. These extensions, starting from the MMX instruction set extension introduced with Pentium MMX in 1997, typically define sets of wide registers and instructions that subdivide these registers into fixed-size lanes and perform a computation for each lane in parallel.

Summary of SIMD extensions

[edit]

The main SIMD instruction set extensions that have been introduced for x86 are:

SIMD instruction set extension Year Description Added in
MMX
1997 A set of 57 integer SIMD instruction acting on 64-bit vectors, mostly providing 8/16/32-bit lane-width operations.

Repurposed the old x87 FPU register-file as a bank of eight 64-bit vector registers, referred to as MM0..MM7 when used for MMX instructions.

Streaming SIMD Extensions
1999 "Katmai New Instructions": a set of 70 SIMD instructions acting on 128-bit vectors, mostly providing scalar and vector operations on 32-bit floating-point values.

Introduced a new set of eight vector registers XMM0..XMM7, each 128 bits, and a status/control register MXCSR.

This set of eight vector registers would later be extended to 16 registers with the introduction of x86-64.

VIA Nano QuadCore C4000
AVX-512
2016 Extended the YMM0..YMM15 vector registers to a set of 32 registers, each 512-bits wide - referred to as ZMM0..ZMM31 when used as 512-bit registers. Also added eight opmask registers K0..K7.

Added 512-bit versions of most of the MMX/SSE/AVX vector instructions, as well as a substantial number of additional instructions. These are mostly encoded with the new EVEX prefix (except for opmask management instructions, which continue to use the VEX prefix.)

Added the ability to perform per-vector-lane masking of the operation of most of its vector instructions, by using the opmask registers. Also added embedded rounding controls for floating-point instructions and a scalar-to-vector broadcast function for most instructions that can accept memory operands.

AVX512 Foundation:
Intel Xeon Phi x200,
Intel Core i9 "Skylake-X",
AMD Zen 4

(See AVX-512#New instructions by sets for additional subsets.)

AMX
Advanced Matrix Extensions
2023 Added a set of eight new tile registers, referred to as TMM0..TMM7. Each of these tile registers has a size of 8192 bits (16 rows of 64 bytes each). Also added instructions to perform matrix multiplication on these registers with various data formats. Intel Xeon "Sapphire Rapids"
AVX10.1
2024 Reformulation of AVX-512 that includes most of the optional AVX-512 subsets as baseline functionality, but also allows for implementations to reduce their maximum supported vector-register width to 256 bits. Intel Xeon 6 "Granite Rapids"
AVX10.2
(2025) Adds support for rounding modifiers for 256-bit floating-point numbers, as well as a handful of added instructions. (Intel Diamond Rapids)
  1. ^ The count of 13 instructions for SSE3 includes the non-SIMD instructions MONITOR and MWAIT that were also introduced as part of "Prescott New Instructions" - these two instructions are considered to be SSE3 instructions by Intel but not by AMD.

MMX instructions

[edit]

MMX instructions operate on the mm registers, which are 64 bits wide. They are shared with the FPU registers.

AVX were first supported by Intel with Sandy Bridge and by AMD with Bulldozer.

Vector operations on 256 bit registers.

Instruction Description
VBROADCASTSS Copy a 32-bit, 64-bit or 128-bit memory operand to all elements of a XMM or YMM vector register.
VBROADCASTSD
VBROADCASTF128
VINSERTF128 Replaces either the lower half or the upper half of a 256-bit YMM register with the value of a 128-bit source operand. The other half of the destination is unchanged.
VEXTRACTF128 Extracts either the lower half or the upper half of a 256-bit YMM register and copies the value to a 128-bit destination operand.
VMASKMOVPS Conditionally reads any number of elements from a SIMD vector memory operand into a destination register, leaving the remaining vector elements unread and setting the corresponding elements in the destination register to zero. Alternatively, conditionally writes any number of elements from a SIMD vector register operand to a vector memory operand, leaving the remaining elements of the memory operand unchanged. On the AMD Jaguar processor architecture, this instruction with a memory source operand takes more than 300 clock cycles when the mask is zero, in which case the instruction should do nothing. This appears to be a design flaw.[2]
VMASKMOVPD
VPERMILPS Permute In-Lane. Shuffle the 32-bit or 64-bit vector elements of one input operand. These are in-lane 256-bit instructions, meaning that they operate on all 256 bits with two separate 128-bit shuffles, so they can not shuffle across the 128-bit lanes.[3]
VPERMILPD
VPERM2F128 Shuffle the four 128-bit vector elements of two 256-bit source operands into a 256-bit destination operand, with an immediate constant as selector.
VZEROALL Set all YMM registers to zero and tag them as unused. Used when switching between 128-bit use and 256-bit use.
VZEROUPPER Set the upper half of all YMM registers to zero. Used when switching between 128-bit use and 256-bit use.

Introduced in Intel's Haswell microarchitecture and AMD's Excavator.

Expansion of most vector integer SSE and AVX instructions to 256 bits

Instruction Description
VBROADCASTSS Copy a 32-bit or 64-bit register operand to all elements of a XMM or YMM vector register. These are register versions of the same instructions in AVX1. There is no 128-bit version however, but the same effect can be simply achieved using VINSERTF128.

FMA3 and FMA4 instructions

[edit]

Floating-point fused multiply-add instructions are introduced in x86 as two instruction set extensions, "FMA3" and "FMA4", both of which build on top of AVX to provide a set of scalar/vector instructions using the xmm/ymm/zmm vector registers. FMA3 defines a set of 3-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take three input operands and writes its result back to the first of them. FMA4 defines a set of 4-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take four input operands – a destination operand and three source operands.

FMA3 is supported on Intel CPUs starting with Haswell, on AMD CPUs starting with Piledriver, and on Zhaoxin CPUs starting with YongFeng. FMA4 was only supported on AMD Family 15h (Bulldozer) CPUs and has been abandoned from AMD Zen onwards. The FMA3/FMA4 extensions are not considered to be an intrinsic part of AVX or AVX2, although all Intel and AMD (but not Zhaoxin) processors that support AVX2 also support FMA3. FMA3 instructions (in EVEX-encoded form) are, however, AVX-512 foundation instructions.
The FMA3 and FMA4 instruction sets both define a set of 10 fused-multiply-add operations, all available in FP32 and FP64 variants. For each of these variants, FMA3 defines three operand orderings while FMA4 defines two.
FMA3 encoding
FMA3 instructions are encoded with the VEX or EVEX prefixes – on the form VEX.66.0F38 xy /r or EVEX.66.0F38 xy /r. The VEX.W/EVEX.W bit selects floating-point format (W=0 means FP32, W=1 means FP64). The opcode byte xy consists of two nibbles, where the top nibble x selects operand ordering (9='132', A='213', B='231') and the bottom nibble y (values 6..F) selects which one of the 10 fused-multiply-add operations to perform. (x and y outside the given ranges will result in something that is not an FMA3 instruction.)
At the assembly language level, the operand ordering is specified in the mnemonic of the instruction:

  • vfmadd132sd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3 will perform xmm1 ← (xmm1*xmm3)+xmm2
  • vfmadd213sd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3 will perform xmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm1)+xmm3
  • vfmadd231sd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3 will perform xmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm3)+xmm1

For all FMA3 variants, the first two arguments must be xmm/ymm/zmm vector register arguments, while the last argument may be either a vector register or memory argument. Under AVX-512 and AVX10, the EVEX-encoded variants support EVEX-prefix-encoded broadcast, opmasks and rounding-controls.
The AVX512-FP16 extension, introduced in Sapphire Rapids, adds FP16 variants of the FMA3 instructions – these all take the form EVEX.66.MAP6.W0 xy /r with the opcode byte working in the same way as for the FP32/FP64 variants. The AVX10.2 extension, published in 2024,[4] similarly adds BF16 variants of the packed (but not scalar) FMA3 instructions – these all take the form EVEX.NP.MAP6.W0 xy /r with the opcode byte again working similar to the FP32/FP64 variants. (For the FMA4 instructions, no FP16 or BF16 variants are defined.)
FMA4 encoding
FMA4 instructions are encoded with the VEX prefix, on the form VEX.66.0F3A xx /r ib (no EVEX encodings are defined). The opcode byte xx uses its bottom bit to select floating-point format (0=FP32, 1=FP64) and the remaining bits to select one of the 10 fused-multiply-add operations to perform.

For FMA4, operand ordering is controlled by the VEX.W bit. If VEX.W=0, then the third operand is the r/m operand specified by the instruction's ModR/M byte and the fourth operand is a register operand, specified by bits 7:4 of the ib (8-bit immediate) part of the instruction. If VEX.W=1, then these two operands are swapped. For example:

  • vfmaddsd xmm1,xmm2,[mem],xmm3 will perform xmm1 ← (xmm2*[mem])+xmm3 and require a W=0 encoding.
  • vfmaddsd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3,[mem] will perform xmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm3)+[mem] and require a W=1 encoding.
  • vfmaddsd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3,xmm4 will perform xmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm3)+xmm4 and can be encoded with either W=0 or W=1.

AVX-512

[edit]

AVX-512, introduced in 2014, adds 512-bit wide vector registers (extending the 256-bit registers, which become the new registers' lower halves) and doubles their count to 32; the new registers are thus named zmm0 through zmm31. It adds eight mask registers, named k0 through k7, which may be used to restrict operations to specific parts of a vector register. Unlike previous instruction set extensions, AVX-512 is implemented in several groups; only the foundation ("AVX-512F") extension is mandatory.[5] Most of the added instructions may also be used with the 256- and 128-bit registers.

AMX

[edit]

Intel AMX adds eight new tile-registers, tmm0-tmm7, each holding a matrix, with a maximum capacity of 16 rows of 64 bytes per tile-register. It also adds a TILECFG register to configure the sizes of the actual matrices held in each of the eight tile-registers, and a set of instructions to perform matrix multiplications on these registers.

  1. ^ For TILEZERO, the tile-register to clear is specified by bits 5:3 of the instruction's ModR/M byte. Bits 7:6 must be set to 11b, and bits 2:0 must be set to 000b.
  2. ^ a b c For the TILELOADD, TILELOADDT1 and TILESTORED instructions, the memory argument must use a memory addressing mode with the SIB-byte. Under this addressing mode, the base register and displacement are used to specify the starting address for the first row of the tile to load/store from/to memory – the scale and index are used to specify a per-row stride.
    These instructions are all interruptible – an interrupt or memory exception taken in the middle of these instructions will cause progress tracking information to be written to TILECFG.start_row, so that the instruction may continue on a partially-loaded/stored tile after the interruption.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h For all of the AMX matrix multiply instructions, the three arguments are required to be three different tile registers, or else the instruction will #UD.
