CVTPS2PD—Convert Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values to Packed Double-
Precision Floating-Point Values
CVTPS2PD—Convert Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values to
Packed Double-Precision Floating-Point Values
Description
Converts two packed single-precision floating-point values in the source operand
(second operand) to two packed double-precision floating-point values in the desti-
nation operand (first operand).
The source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The desti-
nation operand is an XMM register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the
packed single-precision floating-point values are contained in the low quadword of
the register.
In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional
registers (XMM8-XMM15).
Operation
DEST[63:0] ← Convert_Single_Precision_To_Double_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[31:0]);
DEST[127:64] ← Convert_Single_Precision_To_Double_Precision_Floating_Point(SRC[63:32]);
